He believes in writing from his heart— he enjoys starting from a personal experience and mixing an element of mystery or ambiguity to ask his audience to question reality. His past experiences have helped him develop a strong sense of empathy for people from different cultures and disciplines, and he hopes to use this empathy to create stories that speak uniquely to underrepresented people but also have universal appeal.
