About

I craft digital experiences at the intersection of design and technology

With over eight years navigating the space between visual design and front-end engineering, I create work that is both aesthetically resonant and technically precise. Every project begins with restraint — understanding what to leave out is as important as what to put in.

Previously at Pentagram, R/GA, and multiple startups where I led design systems, brand identities, and interactive experiences for clients spanning architecture, fashion, and technology.
