THE TL;DR

THE TL;DR
I design products and systems that help people think and make better decisions.
I’m drawn to complex, technical products where design, psychology, and technology intersect especially when thoughtful craft can reduce cognitive load and create real-world impact.
I stay connected to the design and developer ecosystem through creative tools, coffee chats, and in-person design communities that keep my thinking current and grounded.

I work comfortably in ambiguity and technical depth, reasoning through edge cases, dependencies, and failure modes. My background in systems thinking and psychology helps me design beyond happy paths and anticipate real-world behavior.

With roots in product design, I bring clarity to hierarchy, form, and interaction. Craft, for me, is not decoration, it’s how usability, accessibility, and trust are reinforced through thoughtful decisions.

I actively explore emerging tools and workflows (Currently: Figma Make, Lovable, ChapGPT, Gemini) to understand how products are evolving. Staying updated helps me design with better judgment, not trend-chasing.

I stay connected to the design and developer community through coffee chats, meetups, and in-person events. These conversations challenge assumptions, surface blind spots, and continuously shape how I think about collaboration and leadership.

Offline, you’ll find me out on treks, trying something new (currently gardening), or planning my next painting.
I’m most inspired by travel and unfiltered conversations around the table.
Lately, a little obsessed with Pneuma by Tool.
