My Story

I've always believed that the best digital experiences sit at the intersection of beautiful design, empathetic user research, and flawless engineering. My journey didn't start in a design studio—it started with a curiosity about how things work and a desire to make them work better for people.

Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of working alongside incredibly talented teams to build products that solve real problems. From completely rethinking the auction experience at ACV to helping early-stage startups find their product-market fit, my focus has always been on delivering value through intuitive interfaces.

When I'm not designing, you can usually find me speaking at local meetups, mentoring emerging designers, or experimenting with new prototyping tools. I thrive in environments where creativity is encouraged, and where "good enough" is never the final answer.

Let's build something meaningful.
