The longer story.
How I got here
I started in graphic design but quickly moved toward product. I liked solving problems more than polishing pixels.
Since then, I've spent 17 years leading design at startups and growth-stage companies. I've scaled teams, built systems, and shipped products across platforms.
I also code. I've shipped production features in React and Next.js, which means I prototype fast, speak engineering fluently, and understand the constraints my team is working with.
I care about craft. Not in a precious way, but in a "the details compound" way. Small choices add up to products that feel right.
