Independent studio

Building thoughtful tools that feel calm and obvious

Ten years spent working across product design, front-end architecture, and applied research. Operating independently out of Brooklyn, partnering with studios, founders, and research labs.

Background

From classic design to applied machine learning

My work sits at the intersection of traditional interface design and modern applied intelligence. By treating code and interaction as a unified medium, I help teams bridge the gap between heavy research models and quiet, everyday software.

Operating out of a studio in Brooklyn, I collaborate closely with small teams who value craftsmanship, careful proportions, and software that respects human attention above all else.

Collaboration

Looking for curious teams building thoughtful software who prefer tinkering in public over endless planning.
