Say hello!

For me, social justice works like a designer who refuses to ignore misaligned elements. If a community’s layout is off, my instinct is to nudge, resize, and re-center until everyone fits on the page—no one left in the margins like a forgotten footnote. Inequity is like bad kerning: once I see it, I can’t unsee it, and I’m going to fix it. Justice, like good design, isn’t decoration—it’s structure. And if that structure isn’t holding everyone,
I’m not finished designing yet.

Design, at its core, is about intention. And I choose to be intentional about who gets space, who gets visibility, and who gets to feel like they belong.
I don’t want to adjust the margins—I want to redesign the system so no one is ever pushed to the edge in the first place.
