About Me

I started freelancing straight out of high school in 2009 — sixteen years, five countries, and three industries later, the throughline hasn't changed: find whatever's broken in how a team operates or a product feels, then fix it. That's meant building tooling nobody had built before at Dealerlogix, running remote training for satellite teams in Bangalore and the Philippines at Amazon, and delivering 30+ brand identities and workshops across Latin America and the U.S. through FlowUp. I'm also finishing an architecture degree — spatial systems and interaction systems share more than people think.
