I just liked knowing how things work and making things. If I had an idea, I wanted to see it exist.

UC San Diego

I studied Cognitive Science (specializing in Human-Computer Interaction) with a minor in Entrepreneurship & Innovation. The degree is a bit of a mouthful, but the idea was to dip my toes in a little bit of everything I find fascinating.

Now I’m a design engineer, changing how people collect things online. I own product across purchase flows, creator tools, and the design system, ship front-end code, run growth experiments and ad creatives, and do whatever else needs doing.

Making Things

I shape various mediums of expression and allow them to shape me.

I particularly enjoy making things out of other things: hair clips out of keycaps, collaged posters for local shows, borrowing hooks to write songs, weird fusion recipes, and most recently the Björk swan dress out of tights and feather boas for Halloween.

dj c4lypso

At UC San Diego, I became enamored with college radio, where my show tweegazing was voted best theme (shoutout KSDT!)

As dj c4lypso, I became a musician, audio engineer, event organizer, and creative lead, to shape how students interact with music on campus.

My favorite parts were organizing shows for artists like Chanel Beads and hosting a student-musician interview series.

Design Philosophy

Mode 1

Abstract a problem down to it’s first principles, assemble building blocks, and carefully put the pieces back together in the most scalable way.

Mode 2

Prototype quickly, measure behavior, kill what doesn’t work, iterate on what does.
