Career

2D1 Founder

I started 2D1 as an independent design practice to explore projects beyond the scope of my full-time work. I collaborate with founders and small teams across product design, brand identity, websites, and design systems, carrying projects from early strategy through execution.

Seven.me Product Designer

Seven was a behavioral health coaching platform designed to help people build healthier habits. I led design across its digital ecosystem, including the mobile app, internal web app, design system, and company website. I also created visual concepts for physical touchpoints that were in development.

Macro Founding Designer

I joined Macro as its first employee, helping shape a zero-to-one workflow tool from its earliest stage. I defined the product language, interface patterns, and brand identity as the company moved from idea to working product. It was quite the ride.

Green Stone UX/UI Design Intern

As an intern, I contributed to multiple client projects across websites and digital products. A key project was Giide, where I developed high-fidelity wireframes under the guidance of a senior designer to define the UX of an interactive, audio-led content experience.

Freelance Product & Brand Designer

I began my career freelancing for teams including Remotion, Otter.ai, CommandBar, Instaread, and The Digital Panda. The experience taught me how to create opportunities independently, work through ambiguity, and deliver without waiting for a perfectly defined brief.
