I'm a startup generalist disguised as a UX designer. I've built MVPs from scratch, coded production-ready apps, and turned napkin sketches into real, revenue-generating products.
UX is my foundation — I think deeply about users, flows, and clarity — but I also build. I thrive in early-stage chaos where the team is small, the stakes are high, and you need someone who can design, build, and launch without waiting on handoffs.

I build, not just design.
Most designers hand off to engineers — but I can write the code too. That means faster iteration, fewer translation errors, and a product that ships looking like it was designed. Plus, maybe you can push off that extra dev hire a few months!
I validate before I build.
The best way to save development time is by talking to real users — or standing in a Domino's manually testing the thing you're about to build. I've done both.
I work best at zero-to-one.
Give me a small team and a problem worth solving. I know how to navigate the phase where nothing is defined — and get results without burning time on the wrong thing.
When there’s snow, I ski. When there isn’t, I’m usually hiking or planning the next trip.
