MY STORY

It started with the little things.

Growing up, I was a quiet kid who was always watching the world around me, from people to animals to the places I went. I loved the small details that are easy to miss.

I just didn't know yet what to do with all of it.

I thought I'd be a doctor.

In high school, I thought the best way to help people was to become a doctor. It never quite fit, though.

Then, somewhere along the way, I found UX design. Everything clicked. It took the two things I'd always done, noticing people and wanting to help them, and turned them into one craft.

What I design for.

As a designer, my mission is to create experiences that feel effortless, those moments where people go, "Oh, this is so simple. It just clicks."

I think it's my way of serving the kid inside me, the one who always noticed the little things.

Outside of work

You can catch me playing with my family dog, 3D printing, or losing at Magic: The Gathering games.

I also collect Pokémon and MTG cards, and right now I'm chasing the gold Smaug from The Hobbit set. So if you ever pull one, my inbox is always open.

Thanks for stopping by!
