I’m a multi-disciplinary designer based in Minnesota with a lifelong passion for building and creating.

  • I have a sharp eye for design and a love for “figuring things out,” which drives me to craft thoughtful, innovative solutions that improve everyday products.

  • Outside of design, you’ll find me enjoying good conversation over a craft beer or spending time outdoors with my family—hiking, golfing, and kayaking.

My journey always started with understanding the user.

The Fort

When I was a kid, my friends and I tried building a fort—but it kept collapsing under our weight. I asked my dad to help, and he agreed—only if I drafted blueprints first. That was my first lesson in design: solve the problem before you build.

The Skatepark

We just wanted a place to skate, but no one wanted us around. So I created a modular skatepark—portable, simple, and easy to store. It was my first attempt at user-centered design, even if I didn’t know the term yet.

The Doghouse

My mom’s friend hated how her dog crate ruined the vibe of her living room. I designed a frame and tabletop that turned it into a sleek console table—redirecting attention to the decor on top, not the crate below.

Studied Design

Design school taught me how to think critically, explore without limits, and make mistakes fast. It was where I learned that good design starts with asking the right questions—and isn’t always about having the right answers.

Worked in Design

Working as an architectural and industrial designer sharpened my skills in form, function, and detail. Whether crafting physical models or client-ready presentations, I learned how to bring ideas to life—and communicate them clearly.

Completed UX Academy

UX Academy was the turning point. It helped me bridge my physical design background with digital experiences. I dove deep into research, prototyping, and user testing—building a solid foundation in human-centered design.
