I craft native apps guided by simple principles: simplicity over complexity, obsess over the details, respect platform conventions, and encourage mindful digital consumption.
While I can take a product from idea to App Store alone, I also thrive in multidisciplinary teams led by designers who drive product decisions and set the direction.
I love obsessively iterating with designers to refine experiences that feel intuitive and delightful, and enjoy building elegant, consistent, and scalable codebases.
I believe outstanding products come from a shared sense of craft and empathy across roles: designers mindful of platform nuances, and engineers driven by user-centric principles.
