I started hacking when I was a tween. I studied graphic design, computer science, and psychology, then fell headfirst into product design at Microsoft in California, working across the street from a young company called Google while an intern at Microsoft Research. I feel lucky to have been in the heart of Silicon Valley when modern technology was being invented.

Since then, I've transformed many times.

I became an entrepreneur in 2010, moving to New York City to open an agency in the early days of "Silicon Alley." Uber was my first client. I helped them figure out how to scale beyond San Francisco, before anyone knew what that would become.

I loved startup life so much I went in-house, leading design and product at several Series B companies. Scrappy, high-stakes, formative work.

My last several roles have been at bigger companies and greater scale, finding ways that a hands-on design philosophy, a love of building, and an entrepreneurial instinct can push large organizations to do something genuinely different.

And here I am. With AI rewriting how we work, I see this as a continuum. Another chapter of unknowns that's invigorating, exciting, and clarifying. I join companies at inflection points, where there's a need to do things differently, to take a bold bet, or to change how work gets done.

That's where I do my best work.
