UX & Product Designer · Design Systems & AI-Assisted Design

Most designers study the workflows they design for. I've worked inside them.

Years in operations and content roles across Apple's music, media, and hardware ecosystems mean I design from lived experience, not assumptions. I'm a multidisciplinary designer with a BFA and 20+ years spanning editorial and brand design, design systems and content tooling at Apple and Beats, and AI-assisted production. Through my studio, The Dojo Collective, I've designed brand, event, and experiential work for clients in music and culture, including Art Beats + Lyrics and WERC Crew.

My path runs through music as well as design, which shapes how I think about culture, rhythm, and audience. I build for clarity, systems that scale, and work that holds up.
