About Me

Nice to meet you :)

A dreamer and a maker with a healthy obsession for detail. I strive for efficiency in everything and find purpose in solving problems in elegant ways. I'm constantly thinking of ways to improve our digital and tangible experiences, and use design to find elegant solutions.

In my free time I can be found nerding out over tech, mountains or planning my next hike. I love photographing mountains and the night sky; my work has been featured on Nat Geo and New York Times.
