About

I’m the type of person who loves making things beautiful, thinking in solutions, and going for a cold ocean swim, even in January. With a background in graphic media and multimedia design, I quickly found my place in web development, where I can combine creativity with technical thinking. In my last role, I worked at a small startup where I spent most of my time turning complex ideas into simple, user-friendly interfaces. I especially enjoy creating solutions that are both clever and aesthetically pleasing. Outside of work, you’ll likely find me planning my next surf trip, playing guitar, or spending time with family and friends.
