My Path
I first saw how software could influence behavior when I built a satirical newspaper website to give frustrated journalism classmates somewhere to be heard. I didn't expect much, but students who had checked out started submitting their best work. That was the moment I stopped thinking about software as something you build and started thinking about it as something people experience.
In college I studied computer science within a program that blended psychology, design, entrepreneurship, and ethics. I wanted to understand not just how to build software, but why it should exist in the first place and how it affects the people around it. I started to understand the most interesting questions in tech are not strictly technical. By the time I graduated I was thinking about technology as a human problem first.
Right out of college I took a product role at a conversational AI company in Arizona. Working in product management sharpened my understanding of tradeoffs, stakeholders, and what it actually takes to ship. But the part of the process I kept gravitating toward was the experience itself. Speaking with users, clarifying what they needed, and making sure their voice stayed in the room. Today I design with a systems level understanding of product strategy and technical constraints, building thoughtful software that balances impact, feasibility, and human needs.
My Skills
Complex problems don't scare me. I break them down into smaller pieces, find the simplest solution that holds up, and build from there. That instinct shows up in how I approach design systems, information architecture, and anything that needs to work at scale.
I'm comfortable in code. I can build front end prototypes, speak fluently with engineering teams, and understand what's actually feasible before it becomes a problem. I also lean on AI tools to accelerate my process, from research synthesis to rapid iteration.
Design doesn't happen in a vacuum. My background in product management means I think about tradeoffs, stakeholder needs, and business constraints from the start. That makes me easier to work with and faster to ship with.
Great design starts with great questions. I use research to get past assumptions and understand what users actually need, not just what they say they want. Good research doesn't just inform design, it keeps the whole team focused on the right problem.
My Work
Personal project started during COVID-19 lockdown with two college friends — one designer, one engineer. We built Campus to help students find their communities when campuses went dark.
