About me

I’m a senior product designer who grew up watching too much anime and getting a little obsessed with typography in college.

Over the last decade I’ve worked across the whole gamut of design, from helping startups find their footing to scaling design systems for Fortune 500s.

I’m looking for a team that treats design as a team sport. I like to collaborate, iterate quickly, and work on problems that matter to both users and the business.
