My Story

I grew up in Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi where treating everyone like family taught me the value of empathy and connection. These principles shape my approach to design. I am drawn to UX because it is about more than usability; it is about creating experiences that make people’s lives easier and more meaningful.

With over eight years at Apple and Cash App, I have worked at the intersection of technology and human connection, helping thousands of people find solutions tailored to their unique needs. That hands-on experience drives me to design products that are both intuitive and transformative.

Outside of design, I enjoy exploring Oregon with my wife and two dogs, tending to our garden, and practicing calligraphy. These pursuits fuel my curiosity, patience, and creativity.
