True Anomaly's first product designer that led a major product overhaul to successfully launch and command autonomous reconnaissance satellites.

Also #1 at BlueHalo, working on human-machine interface design for autonomous counter-drone systems.

Aside from deep tech, I've designed for startups in AI health tech, digital therapeutics, and aviation. A brief stint in agency, too.

About

About

An athlete and researcher at heart.

In undergrad, I spent a lot of time contemplating speculative design as a tool for biodiversity conservation. I was also a four-year Division 1 college fencer and captain.

Athletics has shaped every edge of my life. To design well is to move like an athlete: intuitive, resilient, precise.

I'm near-sighted in one eye. I've never seen The Matrix. I rescued a little black cat from a geothermal plant and named it after an HVAC system. I believe grocery store sushi is the purest form of self-love. I want to write more.

After eight years in San Diego, I’m back in New York City—where I was born—reclaiming a new sense of home.
