About

I love designing products and experiences. I like to attack design problems from the space where information systems and experiences meet the market.

My love for design came from the incredible worlds I would see in comics and stories.

I studied architecture at UT Austin and built some cool projects & exhibits for clients like Microsoft and the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, before becoming fascinated with the growing integration of design & technology.

This led me to study user experience design, where I've been using AI to build products that are designed to help people grow in their passion, health, and careers.

You can find me space where technology meets reality, shaping experiences in the ever blurring compartments of our lives.
