I am a designer living in Dallas, Texas. Previously I operate as a Design Engineer at Tinder Labs, designing and building experiences and prototypes. Before this, for the past 4 years I've worked in product design, brand, and software development for early to growth stage startups and select clients around the world.
I've done so across consumer social, telecom, fintech, social good, legal, govtech and more, and thank the wonderful colleagues, peers, mentors, and ultimately friends I've had the privilege of working with, learning from, and knowing.
They have changed my life for the greater and I wish them nothing less than the greatest. Here's a few, more to come.
I've worked across product design, brand, and front-end development which has allowed me to wear many hats in various roles. I value transparency and getting feedback as early as possible, and if there's something I don't know, I ask questions early on.

Here's a general look of the tools and technologies I enjoy using in my line of work as a designer and engineer. As a curious person by nature, I find that there's too much to learn and simply not enough time.
Highly valuing the technical craft and precision this interdisciplinary field of work can require, I genuinely enjoy my efforts spent in this space.

I’ve spent a little over 4 years designing at early to growth stage startups, building intuitive experiences by digging into product discovery, leveraging customer & user insights to make sense of systems, and a thorough enjoyment for rapid prototyping.
I've worked across product design, brand, and front-end development which has allowed me to wear many hats in various roles. My design process follows the model of the Double Diamond process, based on the principles of divergence and convergence, in repeated cycles with feedback at each complete iteration.
I value transparency and getting feedback as early as possible, and if there’s something I don’t know, I ask questions earlyon.
I enjoy watching standup comedy, playing soccer and chess, and checking out the latest drops in fashion. I've also been reading The Art of Visual Perception by Rudolf Arnheim and highly recommend it to anyone interested in design.
I built this site with modular components in Vue, using Vite, a build tool optimized for Vue projects. Using GitHub as the remote, I deploy the build to Vercel on the latest commit. I'm also using .webp file formats to further optimize the performance of this site (in terms of loading images), instead of using .png files for image assets. The typeface I've chosen to use is Increment Sans.
