I design with purpose and intention, blending aesthetics and usability to create products that look and feel great.
I’ve been designing for leading tech companies, meaningful nonprofits, and high-impact products for over two decades. My work has reached over a billion users worldwide; I’ve led several 0-to-1 product launches and managed multiple design teams.
I'm currently focused on building enterprise and consumer products powered by large language models (LLMs) and AI, and have a deep background in security and privacy. I hold an MFA in Media Design with additional design credentials from Google, Microsoft, and CalArts. You can find me behind my desk or in the woods.
