How I got here
I've designed for consumer apps, fintech, and AI. Before all of that I was an engineering student asking why good technology still confused people. I never stopped asking.I'm the kind of designer who wants to know how things actually get built. My engineering background makes that easier and genuinely more fun. I prototype to think problems through, not to pitch them. I sketch edge cases before the happy path. I like the hard parts. Lately that means a lot of AI. The question that keeps pulling me is not what these systems can do. It is whether the person on the other side feels safe enough to find out.Outside of design I make things. I cook, build with my hands, spend a lot of time with art. It all feeds the same instinct: start with something, figure out what it wants to be, keep going until it feels right. Same impulse, different materials.
