My Tech Stack
I build with intention. Every tool in my stack is there for a reason, whether I'm shaping strategy, designing systems, rendering in 3D, or accelerating work with AI.
Framer
My go-to for fast, interactive web experiences and portfolio builds. Powerful enough to go from concept to live without engineering support.
Figma
My primary design tool for UI, UX, design systems, and high-fidelity interactive prototypes. Where most of my product work lives.
Adobe Creative Suite
Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and XD for brand work, motion design, logo creation, and deep visual production at any fidelity.
Blender
3D modeling, rendering, and animation for product concepts, immersive environments, and visual storytelling that goes beyond flat design.
Claude AI
My primary AI assistant for research synthesis, content strategy, design thinking, and accelerating complex problem-solving across engagements.
Cursor AI
AI-powered code editor for building prototypes, design tools, and interactive concepts — bridging the gap between design intent and working product.
Bolt AI
Full-stack app builder for rapid concept prototyping — turning design ideas into functional, testable experiences faster than traditional development.
Miro AI
AI-enhanced digital whiteboard for facilitation, workshop planning, journey mapping, and real-time collaborative strategy sessions with remote teams.
HOW I TURN COMPLEXITY INTO CLARITY
I design systems that bring clarity to complexity, combining strategy, systems thinking, and execution to create experiences that are scalable, intuitive, and built for real-world use.
01.
Research & Discovery
Understand the system, not just the surface. I uncover real user needs, business constraints, and where complexity breaks down clarity.

Turn insight into direction. I define experience concepts and align them to how users think, decide, and act within the system.
