Hey there! I’m a punk rock bassist, meditation practitioner, chess player, product designer, and Marine Corps Reserve veteran. It might sound like a weird mix—but it works.

 

Anyway, I was always a creative kid, and when it finally came time to choose a major in college, graphic designer beat out “starving painter.” After school, I freelanced—designing websites, record layouts, and merch for bands and indie labels in Boston. I eventually made my way to Austin and landed my first “real” design gig at frog. UX pulled me in, and I’ve been with it ever since—with agencies, start ups, and enterprise teams alike.

 

My approach to life and work is shaped by mindfulness and humility—both shaped by my daily meditation practice. I bring this with me wherever I go. It helps me stay grounded under pressure, keep perspective, and maintain a learner’s mindset without ego.

​

Design is just one part of how I show up in the world. I stay involved in my local music scene, I draw and write music for the fun of it, and I volunteer with a support group for people in addiction recovery. Whether I’m designing a product, offering feedback, or showing up for my community—I do it with intention.
