I’m Hal 👋 I manage Design Systems by day and I explore the deepest regions of the human psyche by night. I hold many interests close to my heart, from metaphysics and philosophy, to poetry and photography as well as exploring the natural world. I feel most alive when I am immersed in their purpose or message. I draw inspiration from these outlets which always make their way back into my work and vice versa. It seems to create a whimsical expression of knowledge that can be translated across many aspects of my life. I have been a vegetarian for last 8 years and vegan/veggie hybrid for the past 4 years. My passion in metaphysics, philosophy, and spirituality has greatly expanded my knowledge on the impact we have on the world and what we can do to bring balance back. I’m also a big Formula 1 fan, tech geek and music lover. Ranging from Ambient to Classical, I have many favourite artists: Boards of Canada, TR/ST, iamamiwhoami, Jon Hopkins, Nils Frahm, Brian Eno, Bach, Infected Mushroom, Air, Washed Out and Austra, to name a few. Meanwhile, a book is always within reach. I end up reading books that sometimes take months to finish, usually of a psychological or philosophical nature. I try to make an effort to read a wide spectrum of subjects so that I can eventually bring that connection into my work. “Live life with compassion, honesty, wisdom and you will find true happiness.” - Everyone
