A.I. Native Designer + Builder

Former Microsoft Senior Designer harboring a background in both enterprise and start-up environments with a focus on delivering world-first innovation. Most recently made the transition from big tech to entrepreneurship; founding and building a company from the ground up in pursuit of returning social media to its original purpose — and, ideally, making the world a kinder and more authentic place to call home. In doing so, I became an AI poweruser, contributing over 500,000 lines of code to the live Octopii Social product available on the App Store right now.

I bring an abyssal technical systems-thinking mindset, an intuition-first and feedback-iterated approach to design, coupled with a prime directive of crafting effortless delight at every turn of the user experience. I’ve fully adopted AI-assisted design, engineering, program management, communication and research — I am able to iterate on the end product in real time and maintain coherency across the entire tech and production stack, usually running 10 Claude terminals at a time. I can produce an app, multiple functional features, dashboards, flows, concepts, and more, in a single day.

In a strictly design sense, my most pronounced skillset is vision, ideation, and strategy. I naturally arrive at innovative solutions to 1,000-piece puzzles, regardless of the subject matter or problem space. I cannot overstate it; given a problem, I will produce a suite of informed solutions and provide strategic guidance as to the best option given any number of conditions, constraints, and priorities of multiple parties — from business goals and organizational needs to technical constraints and customer requirements. I enjoy this process as much or more than building solutions themselves.

My ideal day is one in which I’m able to exercise all of these strengths simultaneously with sufficient autonomy to innovate, solve, and iterate as quickly as possible. Give me a puzzle or problem, the more complex the better, and I will demonstrate what I do best.
