// About

I came to design from the other side of the system.

[ Atlanta, GA · 2026 ]

I worked in security for five years, most recently supporting engineers by building features into our pipeline that the whole team relied on.

Over time, that work helped me realize what I truly love is creating things to solve problems, which is what brought me to product design.

One role that touches business, design, and engineering, and lets me carry a product from idea to execution. It felt like an almost perfect match. So I pivoted from cybersecurity to product design.

Outside of work, I'm usually watching football, playing video games, or lifting at the gym. The rest of my time goes to walking my dog and hanging out with my wife, usually with a movie on.

What I do

01

Product Design

End-to-end product work, research, flows, interface, and the system underneath it. I design the whole thing, not just the screens.

02

AI-Augmented Workflow

I use AI tools throughout the process, research synthesis, rapid iteration, real code, to move faster without cutting corners.

03

Design Engineering

Comfortable in the codebase. I prototype in real code, so what I hand off is something I've already proven works.
