Welcome to my infinitesimally small corner of the internet.

Long before I was a designer, I was an engineer — a path I chose because of my fascination with technology (I was a child of the internet, after all). Yet much of what I built back then never had the impact I’d hoped for. That pursuit of impact was my introduction to design.

What I’ve since learned is that design means more than pretty mockups — it means asking the right questions, building a critical and thoughtful process, implementing ideas with strong craft, and above all else, advocating for real people.

Most recently, I earned my Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction from UC Santa Cruz, where I worked with Volvo Group to design AI experiences. Along the way, I even spent a summer designing human-robot interactions @ InOrbit.AI.

When I’m not working, I’m usually hiking on a trail, working through a great video game, or hosting game nights. If you’re looking for a more detailed self intro, maybe this PDF will help?
