Open to product design and management roles
I spot the problem, design the fix, and ship it myself.

How I work
Three habits that show up in every project on this page.
Frame
Turning ambiguity into a defined problem: contextual inquiry, competitive analysis, stakeholder alignment.
Decide
A feature is worth building when it adds new value in the right context, for these people, in this product, and moves the business where it's headed. Two good ideas don't always belong together.
Build
If I know 60–70% of what it takes, I build it myself with AI, from PRD to tested feature. If someone knows the field better, I lead with context and support, not insistence.
About
Before product, I was an architect. On a healthcare project I designed a room for a cardiac unit, every wall and floor finish. Then the machines arrived, and I realized nobody in that room would ever look at the walls. I wanted to design the thing people actually use.
Architecture school still shapes how I work. Beyond design, I took more than ten technical courses: construction, materials, building services, structures, environmental science, landscape. A building is a dozen systems that have to work together. So is a product: database, front end, back end, integrations, and the marketing and sales around it. An HCI master's at Indiana University turned that into a research-first approach.
Today I'm a founding PM on a B2B/DTC SaaS product, working across strategy, research, and execution, often shipping prototypes in code myself. Alongside that, I've designed for accessibility (Microsoft), trust in AI interactions (Salesforce), and internal systems used by thousands of people (Indiana University).
I'm also an early-stage founder at heart. I run my own research, build the tools I need with AI, keep the backlog, rally a small team around one vision, and then demo and sell what we made. I lead when the work needs direction and go hands-on when it needs detail. The architect in me still zooms all the way in.
Off the clock: I paint, I always have a book going, and I love getting a room of people behind one idea. Probably more of my actual personality shows up in those than in any resume bullet.
