For the last eight years, I’ve been designing experiences from concept to completion for a variety of platforms, including a censorship-fighting news site, B2B SaaS, D2C e-commerce, video telephony for remote orchestra rehearsal, and a whole lot of stuff for a major art auction house.

I also love classical music and have played piano for over two decades. My favorite composers are Rachmaninov, Scriabin, and Sibelius. I also enjoy chess, playing with two fluffy doodles, and occasionally riding a horse.
