ABOUT

Designer & Entrepreneur based in New York

I'm a designer and entrepreneur who believes in people. At my core, I'm an optimist — I trust in human potential and the power of connection to solve meaningful problems.

My work centers on deeply understanding what people need and the pain points they face. I'm passionate about finding messaging and solutions that truly resonate, not just on the surface but in ways that create lasting impact.

Whether designing products, building companies, or exploring generative systems, my approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and the belief that great design comes from listening first.
