Houston-based designer & developer focused on quality and usability. I help startups and brands ship better products. Currently available for select projects.
I've spent the last 10 years designing and developing digital products from 0 to 1. I work across the full stack—from user research and prototyping to production-ready code. My sweet spot is early-stage startups that need someone who can do both: think through complex UX problems and ship it.
I've helped ship products that raised funding, hit profitability, and got acquired. I've also worked on things that failed spectacularly. Both taught me what actually matters: solving real problems for real people.
When I'm not shipping products, you'll find me skateboarding, hunting down Houston's best donuts, or yelling at the Houston Texans through my TV.
