I'm a designer and actor with a deep interest in how empathy drives both fields. With 20 years of experience simplifying complex enterprise software, I've led design teams of 2–15 people across startups and large orgs—always focused on clarity, emotion, and impact.

Acting has become a central part of my creative life, and I'm drawn to how it sharpens the same instincts good design requires: presence, listening, and storytelling. Lately, I've been using modern AI agents to build tools that explore this overlap.
