Hello! Thanks for stopping by

When I was 10, I wanted to be an artist. My parents weren't quite on board with the idea, so I waited 20 years to officially pursue that dream. Today, that artistic drive is the foundation of everything I build.

The most important tools on my desk are a 13" MacBook Air, a 5x7 blank Muji notebook, and a Muji 0.5mm black gel pen — a Pelikan I loved even more disappeared somewhere along the way, probably left behind in a cafe. I believe in using the right tools for the right job, whether I'm designing a system or sketching a quick concept.

I live and work in Manhattan, where I'm a year-round cyclist—rain, shine, or snow. I've lived in the same apartment for 21 years and have been known to go 6 or 7 months without leaving the island. I ride a Marin hybrid almost everywhere; it has 21 gears, though I only ever use 3.

In the kitchen, I prefer to be the one cooking. Fighting with pixels used to be the day job — now, with AI-assisted tools in the mix, it feels more like conducting: I have more control over the outcome, not less. Still, there's something refreshing about ending the day with physical ingredients instead of a screen.
