I used to design solutions. Now I build them too.

Product designer with 20+ years in branding, UX, and web. Now focused on building AI-powered tools and products that actually ship.

At my core, I'm a designer. Someone who's always creating, always building, always looking for a better way to solve a problem.

I've got a strong design foundation, but I've never been precious about tools. I pick up whatever gets the job done. What changed recently is that AI removed the last bottleneck. I used to be able to design a solution. Now I can build it too.

Chrome extensions, React apps, iOS and Android, full websites. Some things take an afternoon. Some take months. The size doesn't matter much. What matters is that something gets made.

I'm happiest when I'm creating.
