about.

I’m a designer and developer who helps organizations tell their story and craft high-quality experiences for their customers. Above all else, I enjoy empathizing with real-world users and creating products that are truly meaningful.

UI Design

Digital interfaces connect organizations to the people they serve. I strive to make that bridge effective with user-centered research, modern design patterns, and a bit of creativity.

  • Responsive design
  • Interactive prototyping
  • Figma / Sketch / Adobe XD

Collaboration & Hand-off

I understand the challenges of working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. I’m a big advocate for tools that help teams collaborate better and save time.

  • Cross-functional reviews
  • Design system management
  • Development specs & docs

Mobile Development

Great code is thoughtfully architected and easy to maintain. I prefer working with native tools that reduce dependencies and offer maximum customizability.

  • Android / Kotlin / Compose
  • iOS / Swift
  • REST APIs / Analytics / App publishing

work.

I’m honored to have worked with many talented people. Together we’ve developed unique products that solve problems and have a positive impact on people and their communities.
