About

Product design for technical, data-heavy, decision-heavy tools.

I design at the intersection of technical depth and user clarity — across defense, intelligence, developer tooling, Web3, and enterprise SaaS. From mission-critical platforms for agencies and military operators, to developer portals powering PayPal, Worldpay, Verizon, and PostNL across 178 countries. I also build in HTML and CSS — this portfolio is written by hand — which keeps my design decisions grounded in technical constraints from the start.
