About Richard

With a surfboard under one arm and a design toolkit in the other, Richard navigates the intersection of design, adventure, and purpose. As a Honolulu-based designer with over 10 years of experience, he's learned that the best designs come from maintaining a balance between the digital world and life's adventures.

His journey in design has been driven by a simple belief: great design can create meaningful change. Richard specializes in transforming complex challenges into elegant, user-centered solutions that make a real impact. His approach combines thoughtful research, intuitive interfaces, and strategic thinking to create products that users genuinely love to use.

When he's not crafting prototypes on his laptop, you'll find Richard learning to navigate powder on ski slopes, improving his surfing game in Hawaii's waters, or competing in a friendly match of pickleball. He's also an avid traveler, always seeking new adventures and perspectives with his wife – whether they're exploring hidden local spots or venturing to far-off destinations. These experiences don't just recharge him – they inform his creative process and remind him that the best design solutions often come from unexpected places.

For Richard, there's no strong line between creativity, work, and play. They're all part of the same journey, driven by an endless curiosity to experience everything life has to offer and document it along the way.
