About me

I'm an artist, specializing in designing digital products.

I've been at Amazon Web Services for 2 years, focusing on internal workflow tools for AWS Sales teams. On weekends, I advise on design and product for an educational AI tool at Inkwire. Much of my work is crafting scalable design patterns that enable the innovative AI capabilities that emerge every day.

I try to lead a structured, simple life. I start each day with basketball, yoga, or lifting. I enjoy walks in nature, drawing and journaling, comedy, and poetry. Vegan restaurants and movie theaters are my happy place. I enjoy city-hopping every few months also to keep exploring and challenging myself; I've lived in Miami, SF, NYC, and Dallas recently.

I completed my undergrad in Creative Computing and Psychology and a UX Bootcamp during my time at Southern Methodist University (c/o 2022). On nights and weekends, I would find non-profits and small businesses to help. I did everything from product design to marketing to full-stack development – I was able to learn very technical skills in research and coding through school, and get hands-on experience shipping products outside of the classroom.

I love getting to know people and finding ways to be useful. I love simplifying complex ideas and presenting them in a way that's memorable. I love turning problems into opportunities, and the mundane into magic.
