About
I'm a systems-minded product designer who thinks in flows, structures, and intentional choices. I often view products as little worlds: interconnected, guided by their own internal logic, and harmonious once everything clicks into place.
My interest in building systems started early—from customizing MySpace layouts and The Sims houses to studying architecture later on. Patterns, maps, and diagrams that reveal how an experience fits together have always drawn me in. My work centers on defining how a product operates: its flows, rules, interactions, and underlying architecture. Clarity comes first—mapping what exists, what needs to exist, and how pieces interact—before refining the details.
I've worked in both early-stage and established environments. In 0 → 1 contexts, I design from hypotheses and first principles, shaping the initial system before real behavior fills the gaps. In mature products, I focus on coherence and making the experience feel intentional throughout.
I collaborate best with teams that value thoughtful communication, steady iteration, and a cross-disciplinary lens. Small, scalable decisions matter to me, as does understanding how people move through the environments we build.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect :)

The "When I'm Not Working"
I like to curate outfits, beat my Rubik's cube record, mentor, build computers, escape rooms, make fig jam, Figjam, solve logic puzzles, discover experiences through fragrances, make sandos, make food recs, take photos of the mundane, tinker with DIY miniatures, play video games, make enemies in Catan, taste beer, taste wine, and wash dishes.
