HOW I GOT HERE

Started in marketing + sales → learned how to spark interest and convert it.


Got tired of clunky tools. Taught myself Figma, Framer, Final Cut… anything to make things that made more sense.


Built stuff for startups, student orgs, and friends who didn’t ask.


2020: Got early access to GPT-3. Built weird experiments. Got obsessed.


Been rethinking how humans + AI should interact ever since.

MY DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Clarity. If you have to explain it twice, it’s broken.


Flow. Good UX should feel like muscle memory.


Respect. For attention spans, for weird ideas, for the user.


TLDR. I design interfaces that don’t waste your time.

WHAT I'M INTO

Interfaces that feel ambient and alive.


Giving users control without making them work for it.


Tools that do the boring stuff so people can do the real stuff.


Anything that makes me say, “wait, why doesn’t this exist already?”

WHAT I'M NOT INTO

Loading spinners with no progress.


Design that looks cool but feels like a trap.


Making people click 4 times to do 1 thing.
