What's crackin'

Big ideas are easy, and bringing them to life is where the real fun begins. I design digital experiences that feel as good as they look. Ready to build something that actually hits?

a bit about me

Since I can remember, I've always enjoyed making stuff. Plain and simple. With a deep appreciation for craft, creativity, and thoughtful design, I love leveraging my creativity to create things people want to use and experience. From cooking a meal, picking through a guitar riff, or just some simple sketching, I've always been drawn to the intersection of function and form, where artistry meets utility.

What began early on with LEGO bricks and a drive to build with intention has grown into a career centered on designing purposeful digital experiences. I specialize in organizing design systems and crafting interfaces that are not only visually refined but also intuitive and efficient; tools that people want to use. With a strong attention to detail and a background that blends hands-on creativity with modern technology, I strive to deliver work that feels both elevated and human.

Today, I focus on designing systems, brands, and interfaces that solve real problems and look damn good doing it. I don't believe in shortcuts; I believe in sharp ideas, a collaborative process, and pixel-perfect execution. This site is more than a portfolio; it's a reflection of how I think, work, and build. It's my design story.

Newest hobby

Ceramics. A good reminder that wobbly lines and fingerprints aren't flaws, they're the whole point. Keeps the hands from getting too comfortable on a computer too.

Let's eat

Sharing a meal is better than sharing a link. Cooking is the most humble form of love and something I look forward to every day.

Fun fact

I started drumming 18 years ago; played in a few bands too. Had to hang up the rock star life for a little. I'll pick up the axe from time to time.

Eye in the sky

Flying drones scratches that perfect itch between tech geek and cinematic dreamer. Plus, it's just plain fun to buzz a coastline.

Get outside

When you're staring at a design grid for too long, there's nothing like gettin' off grid to reset your brain. Lunch at camp beats lunch at your desk.

Green shift

I recently traded the jitters and dependency on coffee for the zen and whisking of matcha. I do miss my pour-over routine though…

My favorite lens. I shoot wide because life doesn’t happen in close-ups. Give me the big sky, the full room, the whole damn story.
