What I'm Bout.

Where I'm From

I grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyone and leaving the house meant committing to seeing at least three people you knew. My parents didn't work in tech, but they worked hard, asked good questions, and taught me to care about doing things well. I spent a lot of time online anyway-building things, breaking things, and learning just enough to be dangerous.

What I Do Now

I'm a Senior Product Designer at Rewst ↗ focused on building thoughtful, scalable digital products. I work at the intersection of design, engineering, and strategy, which means I'm often translating messy constraints from the real world into clear and usable experiences. I care deeply about craft, but even more about outcomes. To me, design is about helping someone do something better, faster, or with less frustration.

Where I'm At Now

I'm currently based in New York City, working remotely. Outside of work, I'm usually recharging by walking my food-gulping, ball-catching, hug-giving dog, tinkering with side projects, or going down internet rabbit holes that definitely started as "quick research."

What I'm Looking For

Meaningful problems, smart collaborators, and teams that value curiosity, honesty, and momentum. I'm especially interested in work that pushes the personal computer, creative tools, or everyday software forward because the tools we use shape how we think, and I think there's still a lot of room to do better.
