▷ My work, driven by craftsmanship and user-first thinking, has empowered fast-paced teams to launch systems at scale, specializing in conceiving branded interactive transformations seamlessly connected to services, products, and data.

↳↳ In my spare time, I find joy in practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, striking martial arts, and Capoeira. You'll often catch me playing my strat, hosting a 'churrasco', exploring the scenic trails of Minnesota, and, most importantly, surrounded by my beloved wife and children.

✺ Currently working as Freelance Design Consultant.
