I’ve also encountered a cosmic level of unexpected problems, an experience I consider invaluable. By learning to handle the unforeseen with composure, I’ve become an agile, strategic decision-maker ready to tackle any challenge. I’ve worked through sleepless nights, managed teams of over 200, and, as much as I’ve witnessed success, I’ve also had the roof cave in—literally. During an event.
*This is a true story, but don’t worry—no one was injured; it was backstage, and event attendees remained unaware of the incident.
I've worked with the best
Most of these projects are from my life before startups, but that won’t stop me from sharing their logos to insinuate my skills are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Beyond aesthetics, design shapes the way we interact with products, spaces, and the world, motivating our decision-making and guiding everyday choices without us giving it a second thought. I aim to create experiences so natural they become instinct, by harnessing design’s transformative potential to unleash meaningful change.
All of these strengths under one roof
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but an argument in favor of the claim that I simply have no life.
I grew up in a small town, and the majority of my friendships go back 20+ years. My love of logic puzzles transcends time and space. I’m also a giant Kurt Vonnegut fan (if you haven’t read Slaughterhouse Five, I highly recommend it) and love writing, with about 15 short stories under my belt.

📣 Mentions in the Press
And yet no metric can ever match the level of satisfaction brought by seeing people positively experience my product designs in real life. Human-centered design will always be the heart of my process. I aim to create things that leave people with a :) on their faces.
