MY STORY

How I got here and what shaped my overall design approach.

Based in new york

I didn't start in design — I started in architecture. Two years drawing buildings before I realized I cared more about how people move through spaces than the spaces themselves. That instinct migrated to screens.
Moved to New York in 2016. Joined a boutique branding studio in SoHo. Went fully independent in 2019 — not a plan, a bet. One I'd make again.

"I start by asking what it should feel like. The look follows naturally."

Framer

For when a project needs to feel alive. Framer is where I build high-fidelity interactive prototypes and motion-heavy sites — the kind of experiences that a static mockup can't sell on its own. Especially useful for early-stage startups pitching to investors.

Webflow

My go-to for building production websites without handing off to a developer. Webflow lets me take a design from Figma all the way to a live, editable site — giving clients full control over content without touching a line of code.
