Meridian
An experimental travel app that uses hand-drawn maps and fluid gesture navigation. Won Mobile Design Awards 2024.
Creative Developer — Portland
I build digital experiences that feel handcrafted, not templated.
I am a creative developer specializing in experimental layouts, micro-interactions, and interfaces that surprise you. Currently freelance, previously at Squarespace and Apple. This starter gives you a freeform portfolio you can edit without any framework setup.
I believe the best interfaces feel like they were made by a person, not generated by a system. My work lives in the space between design intention and user discovery.

Process
How I approach each project.
Listen first
Before any pixels, I spend time understanding what you actually need — not what you think you want. The best products solve real problems in ways that feel obvious in hindsight.
Prototype fast
I believe in shipping early and iterating. My first drafts are always rough because perfection is the enemy of progress.
Refine in public
Feedback makes things better. I share work early and often, treating critique as a gift rather than criticism.
About
I studied graphic design at RISD, spent three years at Apple working on visionOS, and now spend my days building weird, wonderful web experiences.
My love for organic layouts comes from a belief that the web has become too grid-bound. Everything is boxes. Everything is对齐. I wanted to make things that felt like they could only exist on the web.
When I am not building, I am probably hiking in the Columbia River Gorge, making pottery, or taking too many photos of my plants.
