Hi, I'm a brand designer, strategist, and creative director based in Oakland, California. I've been humanizing software tech brands for the last 9 years and designing for 14+ years. When I'm not fixed to my computer screen, you may find me dancing Cuban salsa, sketching friends' portraits, or swimming in a tropical sea and ogling colorful fish.

Previously the principal designer for HVR, which was acquired by the unicorn, Fivetran.
