About
Building product experiences is what I love doing. I feel like I've been designing my whole life, questioning things, tinkering, playing. For me, design is all about how we interact with the world around us, physical or digital. It's problem solving with the intent of creating a solution that resonates with the human it solves for. It's something I will obsess over for the rest of my life.
I've latched on to the customer obsession mindset I learned at Amazon. Knowing your end customers wants, needs, desires helps me turn complex technology and problems into solutions that feel natural and intuitive.
When I'm not designing or breaking down problems, I love to get away from my desk and explore the world. I love traveling. Drop me in a city or nature and I will wander. Exploring and observing the world around me.
I look forward to chatting with you.
