hi! nice to see you here!

i’m a product designer (or builder, as they say these days) energized by solving meaningful problems and learning along the way. i thrive in 0→1 design, wearing whatever hat it takes, from research to design to build to PM, to get the product off the ground.

i’m insatiably curious. you’ll always find me asking about what i don’t understand yet, and questioning opinions that are taken for granted. currently, i’m at WindBorne, leveraging the most accurate weather forecast model to design weather solutions for humanity.

outside of design...

i find joy in music ♫ and conversations that wander into life’s ⊹ big philosophical questions ;-)

otherwise i’m running the bay trail, on bike rides with two designated friends, or happily being everyone’s unofficial strava and beli influencer.
