About
I'm a designer working across product, brand, and motion. I design and build products, brand systems, and websites for startups and tech companies — from early-stage to growth.
Most recently I've worked with FirstStrike Research, where I owned the entire creative output — product design, visual identity, motion, and marketing. Before that I worked primarily in the crypto industry and freelance work spanning from local businesses like luxury med spas and gyms to online communities and esports teams.
I bring a modernist, “less noise” approach to everything I make — rooted in Swiss design principles: clarity, structure, and purpose.
I'm fascinated by AI and how it's reshaping creative work. I use tools like Claude Code and Cursor every day — not as shortcuts, but as ways to close the gap between idea and execution. Whether it's accelerating a prototype, writing production code, or pressure-testing a design decision, I'm always exploring new ways to integrate AI into my process.
Based in Denver, Colorado. Open to full-time opportunities and freelance projects.
