I pronounce my last name "WHY-gant."
It is a fitting name, since I tend to search for the two main WHYs as I design—the why behind the challenge, and the why behind the solution.
So why should you work with me?
I am a multidisciplinary designer! As a former Architectural Lighting Designer, I bring a unique perspective. I approach all challenges with a listening ear, a tenacious spirit and a keen eye for human-centric solutions.
I believe in thoughtful purpose-driven creativity,
and I find inspiration in simplicity.
Design with intention.
Design with thought.
Design with me!
