Work History

I assisted in the creation of various products and built tight relationships with creators in San Francisco during a time of unprecedented growth. While taking on roles, I developed an interest in improving experiences around content creation, data aggregation, and discovery.

2015 - 2020

After helping Runnable sell to MuleSoft, I moved to Los Angeles and began supporting businesses as a freelancer. While freelancing, I developed systems and feature updates with Atlassian, Google, and Sentry.

Product Designer, Head of Design, Founder

2020 - Current

In 2020, I was hired by Sam Hinkie (Former GM of 76ers) to lead design at Scout. We successfully created an elegant inventory tool with a solid visual identity. Since building Scout and selling it to StockX, I have taken on more freelance design roles with the intent of reducing ambiguity and increasing consistency.

Designing at Immersa was my latest experience, where we streamlined complex data tasks and lowered the barrier to entry for non-technical users.

I am currently leading at Bracket, our team is creating software that improves the competitive experience.
