About

I’m an Interaction Designer with 10 years of experience working with craft-oriented startups and companies like Apple, Duolingo, Tinder, LinkedIn, and The New York Times.

I bridge strategy and execution. I collaborate with leadership on product positioning and new initiatives, then build the prototypes, websites, videos, and marketing materials to ship them. I’m also key to the sales cycle, leading demos and converting users to customers.

I specialize in fluid interactions and performant prototypes, with deep expertise in Apple’s platforms and Human Interface Guidelines.

Teaching has always been core to my work. I’ve trained 200+ designers and created a course with 28K students and 97% positive reviews.

Currently, I’m at Bitrig, working on the future of app development with AI.

Previously at Play, where we won the Apple Design Award for Innovation in 2025.

7 not so random things about me

Deep focus is my default mode — usually powered by Lane 8, Fred Again & Moderat
I care deeply about Fast Software, the Best Software
Native apps follow platform conventions and speak the language users already know
Smooth like butter interactions — every dropped frame is a missed opportunity
Beautiful interfaces make everything feel intentional
Attention to detail is where good design becomes great
Endless curiosity keeps me learning and making
