About me

I’m a product designer and UX engineer with over a decade of experience bridging design and code. I gravitate towards complex enterprise platforms, data-intensive workflows, and customized design systems.

I also build and maintain some useful open-source utilities.

Tools

  • Design: Figma, FigJam, paper & pencil
  • Code: HTML, CSS, React, Astro, Storybook, SQL, Git
  • AI: Claude, Make, MCP → how AI changed my work
  • Research: Talking directly to customers, Mixpanel, Dovetail
  • Productivity: Things, Notes, long walks

Interests

  • Film: Big fan of ’80s Hollywood, horror comedies, and over-the-top action flicks.
  • TV: If you make a Community or IT Crowd reference, I’ll probably get it.
  • Books: I read the occasional fiction classic, but otherwise I’m into non-fiction, particularly on space science and U.S. history (yes, audio books count).
  • Music: I try to listen to new music every day. My stats are on Last.fm.
  • Real world: Bicycles, solo hiking, cooking, maps, photography, minimalism, Texas barbecue, telescopes, National Parks, and road trips.

One day I hope to be recruited by an intergalactic team of fighter pilots like Alex Rogan in The Last Starfighter.
