I design and build at the edge of product, code, and AI.
Creative Director at nimbl. Former mechanic, lifelong builder. My process has always been the same: think, find the idea, make it real with the best tools available.

I've spent my entire life driven by curiosity about how things work — countless hours taking things apart and trying (often successfully) to put them back together. A decade of that exploration happened professionally in the bicycle industry, where I discovered something that has shaped everything since: our tools don't just serve us, they shape our experiences, and they can either elevate or diminish what matters most.
Behind every mechanical system lies a human story. A perfectly tuned derailleur isn't about smooth shifting; it's about preserving someone's morning ritual, their escape after a hard day, their connection to the world. That understanding became the foundation for how I approach every design challenge.
Today, as a Creative Director, I bring that same curiosity-driven problem-solving to product. I'm a deep generalist who moves between strategy and execution to ship user-centered work that delivers real business results. Taking apart complex systems, mechanical or digital, taught me to lead teams through ambiguity, drive innovation, and partner closely with engineering to build exceptional things.
My process has always been the same: think, find the idea, make it real with the best tools available. What's different now is the tools. We're at an inflection point where design, code, and AI are collapsing into a single fast loop, and the distance between an idea and a working product is shrinking by the week. I build that way now — code-first prototypes, minimal handoff, higher fidelity, faster.
I'm drawn to the problems that don't have answers yet. The best technology doesn't just function well; it changes how people live, work, and connect. I want to keep building at that edge.
Spearheaded transformative design initiatives at Archway Group, enhancing our product development approach and branding. Bridged communication between stakeholders and a design agency to execute a comprehensive rebrand. Championed the redesign of product teams, emphasizing AI capabilities for faster production. Guided the organization in adopting a design-centric SDLC, moving away from outdated methodologies.
Direct creative work across a diverse client roster while leading Nimbl's internal adoption of the tools and workflows redefining how agencies operate. The two things are connected: better process creates better creative. Integrated Claude Code, Cursor, and MCP frameworks into core pipelines — compressed timelines, lower production overhead, more creative at-bats per engagement. Strategically help companies move with intention: know why you're building, not just what. Internally, build the case for new tools, get teams genuinely bought in, and close the gap between what the technology makes possible and what actually ships.
Designed and implemented a robust custom design system. Kept the Figma library up to date with a mirrored Angular library to allow for rapid design-to-development transitions.
