Approach
I’m a design engineer who operates at the intersection of rigorous product design and technical implementation. My work doesn’t stop at the handoff — I build the components myself when necessary.
Nine years of shipping complex financial and enterprise products has taught me that beautiful interfaces and functional ones are the same thing when done properly.
I prefer small teams, high standards, and clients who treat design as infrastructure, not decoration.
