I started life as an electrical engineer, then fell in love with product design when I realized the device in your hand is only as good as the experience it gives. Today I work across all three disciplines — and the friction between them is where my best work happens.
My ideal project blends layers: a piece of custom hardware, a clean app, a thoughtful onboarding. I've shipped consumer IoT, fintech mobile apps, SaaS dashboards, and open-source dev boards.
Outside work I write about craft, run small hardware experiments, and tinker with the studio store — a little outlet for the physical things I make.
