I like building things that make life run smoother. Whether it's a web app, a workflow, or the back of a van.
I'm part designer, part developer, part builder. Some days it's pixels, some days it's power tools. I like creating in that middle space where things feel both intuitive and intentional.
Beginning as a developer, I eventually found my way into design and storytelling. I care about creating things that blend structure with emotion. Simplicity, intention, and human-centered design guide my work.
"I'll obsess over pixel spacing one day and power tools the next."
My Journey
The Uncertain Start
Graduated high school with no idea what to do. My mom said I'd be good at coding, but honestly... I thought it sounded like a miserable career.
Finding My Path
Enrolled at Pittsburg State University as a social work major. Changed to graphic communications the same day and never looked back.
The Turning Point
Got an internship at DevSquared that changed everything. Dove into code and it just clicked. Turns out I love making things work as much as making them pretty.
Real Estate Adventure
Bought my first house in 2021, then two more fixer uppers the next year. Flipped them with my family and now they're rented out. Always need a project on the side.
Van Life Project
Building a home on wheels. Because why not combine carpentry, electrical work, and questionable life choices? I love travel and new projects, so why not combine the two?
By the numbers
Outside of work
Rugby
I play rugby, lift, and stay in motion. There's something about the physicality and teamwork that keeps me grounded.
Brutus
My adventure buddy who thinks every walk is a marathon.
Rock Climbing
Joined a club at Pittsburg State University and it's been a big thing in my life ever since.
Hammocking
If I need peace, I just like to sit outside.
JC
The pups living their best life together.
Van Life
Converting a van into a home on wheels.
I have a habit of turning random ideas into systems — from coffee experiments to new hobbies to converting a van into a home on wheels.
I like things that feel real — honest work, quiet mornings, conversations that go deep, and making something I can stand behind.
