The Story

I make things that work beautifully

Four years ago, I joined Kimberly-Clark with a simple mission: make enterprise software that doesn't make people want to throw their laptop out the window. Turns out, that's harder than it sounds—but also way more rewarding.

These days, I split my time between designing award-winning analytics platforms and building the frontend systems that power them. I speak fluent Figma and TypeScript, and I'm pretty good at translating "make it pop" into actual design decisions.

Graduate of the University of Washington, lifelong Mariners optimist, and firmly believe that the best interfaces are the ones you don't notice. Go Huskies.
