About

I design best when I'm close to the machinery, whether that's a literal shipyard or the invisible infrastructure behind a financial platform. That instinct has taken me from naval fleet operations to advisory tools at Fidelity, to AI trust interfaces at an early-stage startup.

I can spend months embedded in a domain, learning how a shipyard schedules hull block assembly or how advisors navigate compliance in real time. I can also shift gears entirely, ship fast, run 100 user interviews in a few months, and iterate toward something that didn't exist before. Both modes feel natural to me.

Currently based in Austin, TX. Authorized to work in the US without sponsorship.

Life Outside Work

When I'm not designing interfaces, you'll find me behind a canvas, behind a bar, or somewhere between canyon walls. Ask me about US National Parks, Madhubani paintings, ship-building, or Indian music.
