I'm passionate about building software, systems, and spaces that enable people to achieve more.

I've built world-class experiences while scaling teams at series-stage startups and enterprises. My background spans design, engineering, product, and marketing. BFA in Creative Strategy & Interaction Design from SCAD, plus certifications from the Interaction Design Foundation (UX) and Scrum Alliance.

Across design I've shipped 0–1 products, redesigned legacy platforms, run research, and deployed experiments that drive engagement. In leadership and DRI roles I've managed directs, planned resourcing, set design/product strategy, and raised craft across the org.

  • Background spanning design, marketing, product, and engineering
  • Shipping 0–1 experiences with high craft, personalization, and taste
  • Creating experiences that cut operational and cognitive overhead
  • Driving impact through collaboration and a bias for action

Ethos

  • The work always matters, but the how matters more.

  • Simplifying is the bedrock of innovation and its limiting factor.

  • Launching and learning is the goal; don't get trapped in loops.

  • Momentum compounds in all directions, always.

  • Send the ladder back down as you climb.

  • Craft excellence demands a balance of obsession and perspective.

  • Stay curious, keep exploring, try new things.
