Stuck things, unstuck.
I work at the seam where people meet engineered systems — finding why a product, a process, or a machine isn’t going, and making it go.
Across engineering, design, manufacturing, and communication, I remove the bottlenecks that keep good ideas from becoming real.
The story
Design, systems, manufacturing, tech writing — it looks like four careers. It’s one disposition applied to different materials: diagnose the seam, trust the hands, make it go.
Selected work, sorted by problem, not by trade
Three phones, one deadline
Led design across three phones; built the process that held five vendors and three teams to one $12M launch, shipped on time. Read the case →

Won the project with the concept and proposal, then designed the visual environment that let engineers picture a radically new processor. Read the case →
Digital money kids can hold
Took a connected piggy bank from research and concept to production-ready — money kids can feel but never see as cash. Read the case →
