About me
I’ve designed tools for busy property managers and worlds for curious players. These experiences have shaped how I design: solving real problems while bringing moments of joy to the people using what I create.
Outside of design, I’m a coffee enthusiast and often find my best ideas start over a good cup. I find joy in painting miniatures and never say no to a game of ping pong. I love working with people who are curious, collaborative, and enjoy solving problems together.
