Being self-taught, I’ve benefited from an ecosystem in which formerly siloed disciplines have been democratized on the internet. Starting with video editing as a teenager, writing and staging plays during and after college, and teaching myself to design and code ahead of the SaaS boom in 2010, I’ve always followed my curiosity. My northstars were to achieve financial success as a creative professional, while gaining increasing recognition for what I have to say. As you can imagine, generative AI has already benefited me as much as anyone professionally.

In 2025, I joined an AI startup called Mutable.ai as Founding Designer. It was acquired by Google six months later. As a Senior Designer at Google, I have access to the latest models and tools. This inspires me create tools that facilitate new forms of communication and self-expression that I can then use in my own work. This feels like the somehow unexpected and yet logical culmination of a career built on hard work an intuition.
