I come from two kinds of love. One person in my family spent their life understanding people — what they carry, what they need, what they're afraid to say. Another spent theirs building things that made life easier. I grew up watching both, and somewhere in the middle, I found design.


The through line has always been the same — designing for the person behind the screen, not just the problem in front of them.

I believe great design makes people feel seen.


Just as I shape products, the products I create shape me.
