I've been designing and building interfaces for nearly eight years. I started out as a software developer at healthcare and finance startups, working on web and mobile products. Somewhere along the way, Brett Victor's work pulled me deep into the world of HCI, and I decided to follow that curiosity seriously.
That led me to the US for a master's in HCI. Since then, I've worked as a designer across research and product, collaborating with Adobe Research and the University of Maryland and publishing FormA11y in TOCHI. I later joined Adobe's Spectrum team, where I currently co-lead the design of Spectrum iOS.
I've never really stopped being a developer. I'm usually building things for designers. Before AI entered the picture, that meant Figma plugins for design systems, tokens, and workflows. Once LLMs made plugin development dramatically easier, my curiosity shifted upstream. These days I focus on AI engineering and exploring how LLMs can support design work in meaningful ways. One recent example is a RAG-based search that helps designers and engineers across Adobe tap into decades of Spectrum's design system knowledge.
Outside of work, I play guitar, read a lot, and chase side projects. I've taught on Skillshare, run a sticker store, and built a YouTube channel with 16,000+ subscribers where I shared ideas on learning, creativity, and productivity. My next project might head in a musical direction—possibly an album. We'll see. 🎸
