Product Designer  ·  Seattle

I believe this is the most exciting time to be a designer.

New tools, new problems, new possibilities that didn't exist even two years ago. But what still drives me, underneath all of that, is the same thing it's always been — I see the user. The person who's going to pick something up, figure it out in seconds, and not even notice how much work went into making it feel that simple and that good. That moment is why I do this.

I work well independently — I push myself, I use every tool available, and I don't wait for permission to explore. But I'm a band leader at heart. The work I'm most proud of came from collaboration — the kind of back-and-forth that raises everyone's game and produces something none of us could have built alone. Good design doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens when curious people get in a room and refuse to settle.

I've spent the last several years designing wearable UX at Meta Reality Labs — challenging, future-forward, genuinely hard work that I loved. I've designed systems, built AI frameworks, stress-tested what's possible, and shipped products that live on people's faces. But I feel the pull toward something new. Not because I'm running from anything, but because I believe the best designers stay uncomfortable. They move into unfamiliar spaces on purpose.

And the truth is, design is universal. Solving problems across platforms, devices, and products isn't a stretch — it's the whole point.
