About
I grew up in a family photography business where curiosity was part of the craft. My parents were always chasing new techniques, new cameras, and better ways to tell stories. Looking back, I realized I inherited more than a love of photography, I inherited a fascination with how technology changes the way people see and create.
That curiosity has shaped every step of my career. I've helped grow startups, led creative teams, partnered with product and engineering, and spent the last few years exploring how AI is changing the creative process, not just how we make things, but how we evaluate them, iterate on them, and imagine what's possible.
I'm drawn to work that sits between creativity and systems. I love exploring new tools, developing an eye for what makes an experience feel intuitive, and helping turn experimentation into products people genuinely enjoy using.
