2025–present
Entrepreneurship
Building companies is how I explore ideas that I can't stop thinking about. The discipline of turning a concept into something real is the most demanding and rewarding thing I've done.
Why Entrepreneurship
I’ve always been more interested in building things than in studying them. Entrepreneurship gave me a framework for that impulse — a way to turn restlessness into something tangible.
The attraction isn’t glamour (there isn’t any, really). It’s the problem-solving. The constraint. The gap between what exists and what could exist.
What I’ve Built
- Orelis Studios — A creative studio at the intersection of design and technology
- Task Management System — A minimal productivity tool built out of personal frustration with the existing options
Both projects are ongoing. Both have taught me things that no classroom has.
What I’ve Learned
Entrepreneurship is slower than it looks from the outside, and more interesting. Most of the work is mundane: emails, decisions, iteration, feedback. The moments of breakthrough are brief and earned.
I’ve learned to sit with uncertainty. To make decisions with incomplete information. To separate “this is hard” from “this won’t work.”
What’s Next
I’m early in my entrepreneurial journey. ACS(I), then university, then building at scale. But the foundation is being laid now — habits of thought, frameworks for execution, comfort with risk.
