Design and Development Life-cycle
Bringing design thinking and methodologies to Software Development adds value to every phase of the development life-cycle; it defines clear end-goals, builds roadmaps to get there, keeps development agile, and regularly evaluates successes through data-driven criteria.
Guiding Principles
End-to-end Product DevelopmentProfessional Design
Blend cutting-edge design trends with a strong foundation of experience. Prioritize attention to detail—it's what sets professional products apart.

Big Picture Thinking
Align every product with its brand, user needs, and stakeholder goals. Gather and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data to make informed, strategic decisions that drive meaningful outcomes.
My Pragmatic Journey
Building with Code
Software development is a process of exploration and problem-solving. I began as a designer and illustrator creating products for brands including the NBA, NHL, and NCAA. Over time, my focus shifted from visuals to the systems behind them—moving from Flash to WordPress to engineering full-scale applications.
What Am I Doing Now?
Nowadays, I'm all about building performant, accessible, and scalable software. I develop web apps, online games, and institutional platforms, focusing on UX, efficiency, and optimization. When I'm not working, I take Computer Science courses, paint murals of birds, and run marathons (slowly).

A Good FitGreat projects are the product of great teams; I collaborate closely with marketing departments, programmers, subject matter experts, editors, and other designers. My strong work ethic and diverse skill-set are a great addition to any project. I’m a good fit.
Living Project Samples
Work as seen in the wild
Born from a lifelong habit of making lists and a strong belief that my data should always be mine. Frustrated with existing availability of book-tracking tools and their lack of privacy and data portability, I set out to build an online bookshelf that's beautiful, functional, and puts you in control of your data.
