I help companies build meaningful, high‑impact products. Right now I lead design on AI initiatives at Dropbox.
Before that I designed for Instagram and Google, and built tools that help scientists at Corning discover new materials faster.
For more than eight years I taught design and motion graphics at RIT. I still speak and consult on design strategy.
