Work

Arbor

Senior software engineer who led the build of Linktree’s design system, where “primary button” meant three things until every surface shared one token set.

CloseKnit

The design system behind CloseKnit’s virtual urgent care, where the intake questions weren’t ours to modify, so we changed their order.

Groups

Designer and engineer on a React Native platform for opioid-recovery care, where research showed a phone number couldn’t be someone’s identity.

Poppy Flowers

A one-week sprint to test a business before it was built. The quiz shouldn’t replace the florist. It should prepare you for one.

Splice

First full-time designer at Splice, where syncing a music session meant reading what was inside it. Sounds and Rent-to-Own grew from that.
