I believe great design lives at the intersection of human needs and technical possibility.

I'm drawn to messy, complex problems. The kind where the obvious answer is usually wrong. My favorite projects are the ones that require going deep: talking to real people, challenging assumptions, and finding the simplest solution hiding on the other side of all that ambiguity. I've designed across industries - from early-stage startups to multinational financial institutions - but my approach of understanding the problem fully before solving stays the same.

My background is equal parts creative and technical. I attended Northwestern for both my Bachelor's degree in CS and a Master's in Engineering Design Innovation. That combo makes me a stronger collaborator with developers; I speak their language, design within real constraints, and prototype at a fidelity that closes the gap between design and engineering.

When I'm not designing, I'm singing, catching live music, or kickboxing :-)
