Concept to code

I'm a designer and developer with 15 years of experience across both disciplines. I've shipped products to 100K+ users, led cross-functional teams, and built design systems that bridge design and development. With an MS in Human-Computer Interaction, a US patent, and experience across startup, enterprise B2B, and consumer contexts, I bring a rare ability to own a design from concept to code.

Shipping

I have been building production product surfaces across frontend and mobile apps since 2020. My recent work includes developing mojolang.org and Modular Cloud, where I built the login page you'll see. Prior to Modular, I was part of Shure's iOS app team, responsible for shipping 4.5+ star apps to over 100k users.

Prototyping

I strongly believe in using prototypes to turn ambiguous product ideas into demos teams can evaluate and build upon. At Shure and Fjord, my work covered token-based design systems, chatbot experiences, mobile app concepts, and design-technology bridges between design and engineering.

Consulting

My consulting work early in my career shaped my product strategy experience, ranging from research and service design, through cross-functional UX delivery. Across Isobar and other agency contexts, I translated user and business needs into practical product experiences.

Teaching

As an adjunct faculty member at DePaul, I taught graduate software prototyping in the MS Human-Computer Interaction program and helped students connect interaction design with working software.
