For as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with creative expression through movies, television, video games, music, art, and design. Not just to consume, but to analyze and understand why they work. I’m naturally a problem solver, and over time that mindset has shaped a user-centered approach to design focused on empathy and impact. It’s a special feeling to create something impactful and know that it has improved another life.

I’m originally from the south – born in South Carolina, raised in Georgia, but now I call New York home. Outside of work, I still gravitate towards optimization. Sometimes that means me fine-tuning a strategy or method in a video game. When I’m actually relaxing you can find me trying new foods, visiting galleries and museums, watching tv and movies (a lot of sci-fi and anime), or taking care of my growing collection of houseplants.
