Work

As a UX Developer and Creative Technologist based in Dallas, I bridge design vision and technical execution — building high-fidelity, code-based prototypes that validate ideas and accelerate team alignment. With deep experience in React and Angular, design system tokenization, and AI-enabled workflows (including Claude), I help teams compress the cycle from concept to interactive proof. When I'm offline, I love tickling the ivories. Currently open to UX engineering and creative technology opportunities.
