✦ about me

i moved into design in 2021 and have spent the years since working across fintech, health, saas and e-commerce, from early flows through to shipped mobile and web products.

lately, i’ve been using ai to prototype and build working versions of my own ideas. it has made me more interested in the space between designing and building, because i can take an idea much further than a mockup.
