About

Product design, brand systems, and AI-native tooling.

Four years owning product design at Enjin as the sole designer on the 2023 revamp across three verticals: Career, Forum, and Community. Ran 20+ user interviews, mentored design interns, and built a component library that cut design-to-engineering handoff friction. Owned end-to-end from information architecture through shipped UI.

The current role spans bilingual web, brand identity, print collateral, and campaign content. Closer to a creative director's scope than a typical product role, executed solo, sketch to ship under one name.

On the side, shipping AI-native tooling. MCP servers on npm, a Chrome extension on the Web Store, and a bilingual PWA in development. All designed and built with AI-assisted development.
