My Compass

Everyone needs a great guide.

  • Design

    I design with intention. Every interaction should serve a purpose. I care about the small details because they compound into meaningful experiences. I don't design for aesthetics alone — I design to solve real problems for real people.

  • Develop

    I think in systems. There are usually multiple correct approaches — the challenge is choosing the right one within constraints. My technical background helps me balance feasibility, scalability, and experience from the start.

  • Explore

    I ask why relentlessly. I dig deeper than surface-level symptoms to uncover root causes. I'm comfortable in ambiguity, and I believe discomfort often signals meaningful discovery.

My Path

The Best Trails are Never Linear.

I first saw how software could influence behavior when I built a satirical website to highlight frustrations in my journalism class. It wasn’t just code — it was proof that software could shape conversation and culture.

In college, I studied computer science within a program that blended psychology, design, entrepreneurship, and ethics. I learned not just how to build software, but how to question why it should exist in the first place.

Working in product management sharpened my understanding of tradeoffs, stakeholders, and delivery. Over time, I realized the part of the process that energized me most was shaping the experience itself — clarifying problems, simplifying systems, and advocating for users. 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

Yes, I was a Boy Scout.

Systems Thinking

I break complex problems into structured components. I map flows, identify dependencies, and design for scalability.

Technical Fluency

With a background in computer science, I understand how systems are built. I collaborate effectively with engineers and design solutions that are realistic to implement.

Product Strategy

My product management experience taught me to evaluate tradeoffs, prioritize effectively, and align user needs with business goals.

Human-Centered Design

I consider second-order effects. Good design isn't just usable — it's responsible. I think about long-term impact and unintended consequences.

My Work

I've got Stories to Tell.

Battling Student Isolation During a Global Pandemic

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.
