At twenty, with more ambition than experience, I opened my own tattoo studio. No corporate ladder, no safety net. Just a real business and real clients trusting me with something permanent. That's where I learned the thing that still drives how I design today: an idea only matters if it survives contact with a real person's expectations.

A few years in, I left to travel, chasing bigger walls and a bigger canvas. That's how I became a muralist: turning blank city walls into something people would actually stop and look at, working at a scale where you can't hide a bad decision behind a small screen. Somewhere in there, I also built Realistattoo, a content brand that reached millions of views, proof that the instinct for what makes people stop scrolling works whether the canvas is a wall, skin, or a feed.

Product design is where all of it converges. Six years of building things with my own money on the line taught me to care less about how something looks in a deck and more about whether it holds up when a real person uses it. Skin, walls, screens: the medium changes, the job doesn't. Make something people actually connect with. If that's what you're building, let's talk.
