When I’m not immersed in the digital world, I find joy in exploring the real one - traveling, photographing, and learning about human culture & behavior, our beautiful planet, and its incredible plants, animals, and fungi.

Design is my language for the digital world.

Since the days of my first Windows 2000 desktop, digital design has been my way of bridging creativity and technology - a versatile craft to express ideas for diverse audiences and objectives. Design school sharpened my eye for aesthetics and shaped a curious, artistic instinct into a practical problem-solving tool.

I gravitate toward digital spaces - apps, websites, software, and games - environments I’ve grown up in as a digital native. They shape how I see the world and how I think through problems, both as a user and a creator.

My job is to design experiences for the complexities of real life that feel seamless & intuitive. My drive is to pay attention to what makes sense and what matters.

Design Philosophy

Core Design Values

Critical Thinking
Design That Asks Questions

Good design solves problems. Great design starts by asking the right questions. Ever a champion for logic, critical thinking, and empathy in my teams, I aim to ensure we question our assumptions and explore diverse outcomes, which ultimately allows us to design with clarity and intent.

Attention to Detail
Crafting for Form & Function

Details matter. From breathable whitespace and intuitive placement, to color harmony and copy tone, I value good design that lives at the intersection of aesthetics & function. Striking a balance of usability & satisfaction is key when products can live or die by how it ‘feels’ to users.

Growth MindSet
Evolving with Curiosity

Learning is never done. Staying curious and open to change - shifts in tools, process, or culture - keeps me nimble in this fast-paced industry. Growth happens when we stay present, reflect on what’s no longer working, and lean into new ideas that move the craft forward.

Purpose Driven
Authentic Value for Real People

I strive to create for the world I want to live in, as I live a digital existence every day. I believe in designing products that serve a clear, honest purpose and respect users' time, attention, and needs. Things built on real value will find its audience and earn trust through relevance, not just reach.
