An artist at heart, I’m driven by one question: how can technology help creativity thrive, not disappear? I see AI as a new medium - like paint or clay - with endless potential when artists, engineers, and dreamers build together. From fintech to fashion tech, I’ve built products that make complex ideas feel human - helping people learn, create, and express ideas in new ways. Now I’m exploring how AI can amplify imagination and connection. The best products tell stories, spark empathy, and make self-expression universal - and I love working with teams that empower the next generation of artists, curators, and storytellers.
