About · Who am I

Growing one pixel at a time.

An archive of how I think, arranged in tiles: the professional bits, the human bits, and everything in between.

Fixing product friction, one pixel and one awkward conversation at a time. Less talk, more building. (Unless I'm mentoring. Then a moderate amount of talk.)

The Bio, TL;DR

Designer who builds, builder who designs. I run Dabdab, mentor upcoming designers, and build EdTech simulations. The fun part is design strategy: mapping how a user moves through a flow and winning them over, screen by screen. I sketch when I should be working.

Out of Office

Usually outside, thinking. Traveling to see how the world is designed, admiring craft in the wild, and experimenting with AI just to see what happens.
