I founded Almost Human in 2025, after more than two decades spent shaping worlds through design, storytelling, and technology.

For years, I explored how form, clarity, and emotion move people — building digital products, visual systems, and experiences that attempted to make sense of both chaos and beauty.

I believed design was my final medium.

But perfumery found me.

What began as a spark of curiosity became a complete shift in perception.

Through scent, I discovered a language that bypasses thought and speaks directly to memory, instinct, and the deeper layers of awareness.

It was the first medium that felt alive — the first medium that felt like me.

My lifelong fascination with science fiction, esoteric teachings, and cross-disciplinary creation naturally converged here.

Almost Human became the expression of all the versions of myself — the human one, the dreaming one, and the one that stands just beyond the edge of what I understand.

I create fragrances as portals.

Each one is a moment suspended in time: a memory that never fully existed, a feeling you can almost recall, a scene between past and future.

They are fragments of my own world — interpreted through scent, offered to yours.

To me, perfume is an experience.

It shapes mood, alters space, expands imagination.

The bottle is minimal; the interior is infinite.

Almost Human exists to remind you of your humanity —

and to invite you into the version of yourself that reaches a little further than that.
