I'm a product designer, but the thing underneath the work is simpler than the title: I want to help people spend their attention on what actually matters. At work, that means designing away the friction in a workflow — the steps, the confusion, the setup that sits between someone and the thing they're trying to do. It's the problem I keep choosing, whatever the product.

That's what drew me to AI. At VSCO I built AI Lab and designed Scout, the product's first onboarding assistant — taking something powerful but overwhelming and making it feel simple to start. At Speechify I built AI Studio from the ground up, taking it 0→1 through launch. Different tools, same instinct: clear the path so people get to the part that matters faster.

Lately I've been following that instinct into my own projects, and it's pulled me somewhere more personal. I'm building a voice-notes app that surfaces the themes running through your life — so you can see what keeps coming up and track where you're heading. Next, something for holding onto the moments that matter to you, turning a trip or a memory into something you can keep and return to. Same drive as the work, pointed at life instead of workflow: help people notice what matters and hold onto it.

When I'm not designing, I'm a photographer — still chasing good light, still paying attention to the things worth keeping.
