A favorite piece of design is …

NOMOS Glashütte’s Tangente watch. Its typography is meticulous without feeling cold, and the exposed, hand-finished movement reflects the same quiet discipline—beautifully composed, rich in subtle color and texture, and expressive without excess.

Early fascination with design?

As a kid, I got into sports through team logos. My favorite was the ’88 Charlotte Hornets — a goofy cartoon hornet dribbling a basketball. Not great, but it hooked me.
