I love building software for people.

Every day I'm driven to solve problems for others and create delightful user experiences.

Today, I work at Figma on unannounced AI projects.

I believe tools should be playful.

I love building expressive tools for others and removing barriers to exploring new ideas.

Recently I've launched a few new tools:

I consider design a team sport.

Although I currently work as an IC, I've also led design teams before. I find empowering other designers to do their best work incredibly rewarding.

I spent part of my time at Discord leading a team of 10 designers across three pillars Since then the pendulum has swung back the other way and I've enjoyed having my hands in the clay again.

I'm always learning new things.

Outside of design I love music, games, and a cup of good coffee. That being said, I do truly love the web, design, and building software.

In my spare time I'm often trying to learn new things like shaders, improving my animation skills, and new tools.
