Born on the West Coast, raised on the East Coast. Found design the long way around — the kind of path that doesn't fit neatly on a resume but shapes the way you see everything.
Ten years at one of the most recognized brands on the planet. Apps used by millions, moments people still talk about, details small enough to patent. I work with ambiguity, shape direction early, and build systems that help teams move fast without lowering the bar.
The goal is always the same — make the impossible feel inevitable.
Diehard Dodgers and Eagles fan. Two coasts, two teams, one very stressful sports year.
