About

I design screens the way I was taught to design space.

I'm a product designer who thinks like an architect. After studying architecture, I now design digital products, bringing a structural mindset to interfaces, where every decision serves both form and function.

My background gives me an unusual lens: I approach screens the way I once approached space, considering how people move through a product, where their attention lands, and what makes an experience feel effortless.

Architecture also gave me the habit of designing systems rather than one-offs. In studio you are never drawing a single room. You are working out a set of rules that has to hold across every room, at every scale, including the ones you have not drawn yet. Design systems ask for the same thinking.

I hold a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Toronto and a Master of Information in User Experience Design from the same institution, a foundation that lets me balance aesthetics, usability, and intent in everything I build.

Courts, matches and a lot of food

I play tennis, padel and volleyball. I watch just about everything else. And I am a serious foodie, which the last picture will confirm.

If any of that sounds like your kind of team, I would like to hear from you.
