About

I build AI-native products end to end.

I started in industrial and product design and spent several years in UX — now I ship not just the design but the working software, by directing AI coding agents like Claude Code. I’m completing an MS in Strategic Design & Management at Parsons, where most of my current work lives. I care about clear thinking, honest craft, and building things that actually run.

The journey

Ten years, one move repeated: from the thing in your hand, to the thing on your screen, to the system running underneath it.

The two pivots are the arc. 2021 — trained on objects, moved into interfaces. 2024 — moved to New York, and from designing interfaces to building the systems underneath them.
