About
I enjoy working closely with others to build great products and experiences.
I believe the best work comes from teams that trust each other and care about what they’re building. I bring a low-ego, collaborative approach and focus on doing what’s needed to move the work forward.

My process is influenced by my background in industrial design.
I prototype early and often, as making ideas tangible leads to better conversations and faster iteration.
With over a decade in design, I’ve worked with great teams across a wide range of industries and projects.
Each project has shaped how I think and work. I stay curious and open to learning from the people around me and the problems we’re solving.

Outside of work, you’ll find me climbing, exploring the outdoors or working on a hobby project.
Climbing has always been a dream of mine, so I feel lucky to be based close to Yosemite and many other world-class climbing areas. The Bay Area also offers great outdoor spaces and maker communities, making it easy to explore and build things outside of work.
