Product Designer
Designing tools for
people + intelligent systems
[ SELECTED WORKS ]
I’ve worked as a founding designer on early-stage teams, where I’ve shaped products from scratch, defined visual systems, and brought clarity to ambiguity.
I’m deeply interested in how language models can be used as a medium — not just a tool, but to blend design, art, and technology. I explore how emerging AI systems can become collaborators in crafting expressive, functional, and experimental experiences.

"I had the pleasure of mentoring TJ in coding and was continually impressed by his creativity, teamwork, and ability to quickly grasp new concepts. He excelled at collaborating with peers, contributing innovative ideas, and driving projects forward. His design and prototyping skills in Figma stood out—combining functionality with a keen eye for detail. Additionally, his energy and presentation skills made him a natural leader in group settings. TJ’s talent and drive make him an invaluable asset to any team."
I care deeply about emotional experience, aesthetics, and experimentation, both within and beyond the screen.
I’m also skilled in video editing and crafting product launch videos, bringing strong storytelling instincts into motion and narrative. I use this to shape not just what a product does, but how it’s experienced, communicated, and remembered.
