Designs in Figma

Builds with Cursor

I balance my designs from 2 directions — what the user needs, and what the business needs. The most effective designs tend to live in that overlap.

My design process begins with a deep understanding of a real problem, which leads into solution hypotheses. I test my assumptions along the way so I can stay nimble, as new data and opinions come into the mix. As the sole product designer at Athesports and Tie, I've spearheaded several design projects and initiatives, picking up product strategy, management, and front-end development skills along the way. Today, I design in Figma and implement code in Cursor, unlocking precision, speed, and more creativity in my workflow.

In my everyday life, you'll find me at the driving range, listening to Kettama, or cooking myself a high-protein slop bowl.
