Creative by trade. Competitive by nature.
I'm an AI-Native Senior Product Designer at Financial Finesse. I design the product, then I ship the code. Ten years in product, most of them in financial wellness, where a good answer changes what someone does with their money.
A designer who ships the code
This year that meant building the first version of Global Content Studio myself with Claude Code, and merging my own components into the production Aimee SDK.
I grew up on a soccer field. I played D1 on scholarship in college, and I still lace up every weekend. Some habits are too good to quit.
These days the most important part of my life is my family. I have a son who makes everything better, and I'm pretty sure that's where the good ideas come from, too.
The short version
The full story is on the résumé.

What I'm actually into
Soccer
D1 scholarship, lifelong player. Weekend leagues are my reset button.
Photography
I photograph families and newborns, the moments that matter forever.
Travel and food
Always chasing the next place I've never been and the dish I've never tried.
Scuba diving
Warm ocean, great visibility, zero deadlines.
Dirt biking
No signal, just dirt. The most analog thing I do.
Wakeboarding
There's a flow state to it that feels a lot like good design.
Sourdough
Starts at 11pm, takes three days. My starter has a name.
Family
My son and the people I love are what everything else is for.
