About

I think it was my obsession with the X-Files that informed my product design career.

I'm relentlessly curious, like Mulder. I follow where the evidence leads, and I'm obsessed with uncovering patterns that tell the real story.

And like Scully, I'm data-driven, methodical, and quick to question my own assumptions first.

Product design is investigative work, and I'm here for the messy problems that don't have easy answers (because the truth is out there).
