How does being queer inform your work?

Being queer informs my work by bringing a unique perspective that challenges conventional narratives and fosters inclusivity. It heightens my sensitivity to diverse experiences and the importance of representation, which I aim to reflect in my designs. My identity encourages me to think beyond the typical, pushing boundaries to create work that speaks to a broader audience and celebrates individuality. Whether through visual design or UX/UI work, I focus on ensuring that all users feel seen, respected, and understood, creating spaces that are welcoming and affirming for everyone.

What are your favorite pieces of queer visual culture?

One of my favorite pieces of queer visual culture is *Paris Is Burning*, the iconic documentary that captures the vibrant drag ball culture of New York City in the late 1980s. The film is an incredible celebration of queer identity, resilience, and creativity, showcasing how marginalized communities create their own spaces of expression and joy. What I love most about it is the way it highlights the power of self-expression through fashion, performance, and community, all while addressing complex issues of race, class, and gender. It’s a beautiful reminder of the transformative power of queer creativity and storytelling.

Which other queer people inspire you?

I’m deeply inspired by a range of queer individuals whose work and activism have reshaped culture and pushed boundaries. Icons like James Baldwin and Audre Lorde come to mind for their profound contributions to literature and social justice, using their voices to challenge oppressive systems and amplify marginalized perspectives. In design, queer creatives like Jeremy O. Harris and Telfar Clemens have redefined the intersection of queerness, art, and commerce, bringing visibility and radical inclusivity to mainstream platforms. Their work constantly reminds me of the importance of authenticity, intersectionality, and using creativity as a tool for both personal expression and broader societal impact.
