Sketch your current problem
In our AI-driven development arena, sketching matters more than ever. It slows us down just enough to think, explore, and make intentional decisions before AI turns a vague idea into something worth building. Let me help you visualize it before you burn more tokens and create more slop.

From fuzzy product questions to clear, testable direction. I partner with teams and emerging designers to frame the right problem, shape the experience, and ship work that holds up with real people.
About me
Design is a making praxis. What you make at first will likely not be very good and that means you are learning to make it better. Just Keep Making!
I’m a senior UX/product designer, and design educator who has spent my career moving between shipping products and teaching the people who will design the next ones. That loop keeps my work honest: what I teach has to survive contact with real teams, and what I build has to be explainable to a first-year student.
I believe in small, evidence-led steps, clear critique, and craft that serves people before it serves a portfolio. Whether I’m leading a discovery sprint or mentoring a career-changer, the goal is the same — better questions, clearer decisions, and work you’re proud to explain.
