I’m especially curious about enterprise software, education, climate, and digital health—fields where design has to make sense of both people and the system around them.

The work changes by context, but the rhythm is consistent: learn closely, organize the system, and build enough to test what matters.

RESEARCH

I talk with people, trace workflows, and turn the gap between what should happen and what actually happens into a direction the team can act on.

I use it to explore alternatives, synthesize early research, and prototype interactions quickly—especially when a rough idea needs to become something a team can react to.

I like the wait before a roll comes back.

BIKE ROUTES

The city makes more sense at handlebar speed.

WANDER FARTHER

Architecture, street light, and whatever makes me stop walking.
