About Me
I’m a Seattle-based developer and designer with a deep respect for thoughtful storytelling, purposeful design, and clean, functional code.
Over the years, I’ve contributed to projects for clients like Microsoft, Adobe, Red Hat, and Tableau through roles at leading agencies and companies.
Art and Emotion
For me, art is a form of storytelling — a way to evoke feeling, communicate meaning, and bring ideas to life visually. It’s where art and intention meet, and where every line, color, and composition has a role to play. My background in both design and media allows me to approach each piece not just as a solution, but as a creative expression.
