The Story

I believe that good design is as much about what you leave out as what you put in. My journey started in architecture, where I learned the importance of structure, light, and flow. The constraints of physical materials taught me to appreciate the honesty of construction.

Transitioning to digital product design allowed me to apply these principles to interactive spaces. I focus on creating tools that feel invisible, empowering users to achieve their goals without friction. I'm obsessed with typography, white space, and the subtle interactions that make software feel alive.

When I'm not designing interfaces, I'm likely hiking the trails of Marin County, brewing pour-over coffee, or reading about mid-century furniture design.
