About

I build thoughtful, performant interfaces.

Focus

Product design and front-end for tools people use every day: consumer applications, marketing sites, and internal platforms.

Approach

I start with the problem, not the pixels. Research, structure, and thoughtful systems turn ideas into products that scale.

Currently

Open to senior / staff UX engineering roles, plus a few select collaborations.
