Currently in: Los Angeles
Info
I'm a builder, designer, and filmmaker driven by a fundamental refusal to accept "good enough." It all comes from the same place: a deep-seated curiosity and an obsession with fixing things that don't work the way they should.
I see design as a language for telling stories and making connections. For me, the best ideas aren't found glued to a screen; they're discovered while exploring the city's art scene, hunting for the best coffee, or sketching in a park. My true work is about observation and translating those moments into something meaningful.
Info
I've been lucky to use this approach with a diverse range of clients, from major companies to innovative startups. Now, as a full-time engineer, designer, and founder, I get to continue pushing creative boundaries to deliver solutions with real impact. Take a look around my portfolio, and if you like what you see, let's chat. I'm always excited to meet new people and take on new challenges.
