About

Lead Product Designer at Exa. Previously at Stellar, Warby Parker, Uber, and Weebly. I design interfaces and interactions that feel simple, clear, and enjoyable to use — especially in blockchain and AI, where these patterns are being defined for the first time. I do my best work iterating fast with talented engineers, staying close to the thing we're making. Always open to connecting if you're working on something interesting.
