  • I bring brands to life, from the first idea to the way people experience them.
  • Working across design, code, and digital strategy.
  • I learn by building, testing, and improving things along the way.

After hours

Surf, camera, curiosity

Outside work, I make time for the ocean and the trails, photograph the natural world, keep lists of stories I love, and collect useful software, tools, and well-made objects.
