What I'm looking for

Looking for a creative, collaborative role where I can solve meaningful problems across UX/UI, product, digital, and physical design.

I’m a designer with 9+ years of experience making things make sense, whether it’s an app, a brand, a game, or a house. Trained as an architect, I’ve designed things you can walk through, swipe through, and occasionally get emotionally attached to. I like figuring out why people do what they do, and then designing around it so they don’t throw their phone (or curse at a door handle).

I believe in human-centered design, sustainability, and fixing things that suck. If it’s confusing, ugly, or useless, I probably already have a mood board for it. My philosophy? If you don’t like something, do something about it. And I do, with a sketchbook full of ideas, far too many Figma layers, and a stubborn refusal to accept “good enough.”
