Whimsical
I explore, make ideas tangible, and give the work enough personality to be remembered.
Staff Product Designer and (sometimes) Design Engineer. 8 years in fintech, building design systems.
A designer with the engineer touch.
Yin and yang
Put the two together and I’m pretty good at it. I build UI kits, design systems, and functional prototypes. I’ve been doing this long enough to know the things worth building are rarely the easiest to make.
Methodical
I turn the strongest direction into clear systems, real prototypes, and work that ships quickly.
Places where I left the work better than I found it.

Brilliant in my own stupidity.
I fear this works
I have more stupid ideas than good sense, though the difference is not always obvious. Some prove useful. Some fail catastrophically. Some push me past the point of comfort. I like those best.
The designers I admire take design seriously in a way I never quite have. Sometimes that makes me wonder if I’ve earned my place beside them. Still, stupid ideas get me through the doubt and keep me from reasoning myself out of making.
