Product designer and full-stack developer with 8+ years turning complex problems into clean, intuitive interfaces. Based in San Francisco.
I'm a product designer and developer who believes the best digital products are born from a deep understanding of the people who use them. Over the past eight years, I've had the privilege of working with startups, agencies, and Fortune 500 companies to ship products that genuinely improve how people work and live.
My approach blends systems thinking with pixel-level attention to detail. I'm equally comfortable whiteboarding architecture, prototyping in Figma, or writing production React. That versatility lets me bridge the gap between design and engineering in a way that most specialists can't.
When I'm not at my desk, you'll find me hiking the Bay Area trails, experimenting with film photography, or contributing to open-source projects.
A curated set of tools and technologies I've used to ship production software for companies of every size.
A selection of recent work spanning product design, web development, and brand identity.
A financial analytics dashboard for a Series B fintech startup. Designed and built the entire frontend with real-time data visualization and collaborative features.
Multi-vendor marketplace platform handling 10K+ daily transactions. Built with Next.js, Stripe integration, and a custom CMS for vendor management.
End-to-end design for a wellness tracking app serving 200K+ active users. Focused on accessibility, habit formation UX, and HIPAA-compliant data handling.
Complete brand identity for a specialty coffee company. Logo system, packaging design, digital brand guidelines, and a headless e-commerce storefront.
Online learning platform with AI-powered course recommendations, progress tracking, and live collaboration tools. Serves 50K+ students across three continents.
I have additional case studies and side projects available upon request.
