My love for design started in high school (the mid 2000s). I was enamored with streetwear designers, Apple products, and graffiti artists. As a kid, I also played quite a bit of console video games and spent a lot of time on my family's desktop computers. This blend of art and tech primed me for an interest in digital product design.

After graduating from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design , I worked on freelance web and branding projects for local musicians and restaurants in Minneapolis and Portland. During these years, I worked primarily as a line cook. I was blessed to learn multiple cuisines under numerous talented chefs (including Sean Sherman, and a few Japanese ramen masters).

I began taking UX design courses back in 2018, but when the pandemic struck, I decided to refocus my life around design entirely. I began full time work as a UX designer in 2021 and currently work across multiple teams at IDX. I am always curious about new technology and would like to dive deeper into multi-modal UX design.

Outside of design, I'm very into music, fashion, basketball, cycling, N/A beer and sunshine.
