Chicago · Designer, builder, musician
Designer & builder — UX, front-end, and AI-assisted development.
A UX/UI and front-end background, a decade in creative production, and a deep music domain — now shipping real web and desktop apps with AI-assisted development. Design literacy, the range to know what to make, and the ability to actually ship it.
Selected work
Deployed
An interactive theory instrument for guitar — a living textbook. Scales, chords, and harmony render as colour-coded “constellations” across the neck, with notation and TAB, all playable. Built on a data-driven engine: add a scale, chord, or tuning by adding a data file.
In active development
A local-first macOS desktop app for re-discovering large music libraries — library scanning and tagging, A–B looping, multi-track layering, and smart playlists.
Live
A responsive marketing landing page designed and built for an international voice-training program.
Live · creative work
My studio site, designed and built end to end — an embedded audio player, an interactive tools page, and a version-controlled codebase.
Concept · reached investor interest
An early-stage startup app concept. I led product design — from user flows (mapped with our PM, Jen) through lo-fi screens to a clickable prototype — and the work reached investor interest.
Design → build
A music-for-licensing site for songwriter Jon Adams, taken end to end — personas and user flows, lo-fi wireframes, brand identity, hi-fi mockups, then the shipped front-end with categorized, streamable playlists.
Live · 2026
A brand and marketing site for an intimacy, embodiment, and nervous-system educator — warm, calm, and editorial, designed and built to carry the tone of the practice.
Also built
A minimal brand landing page for a digital music distribution company — one bold mark, calm typography, still live years on.
A self-authored interactive music-theory book — writing, curriculum, design, and code, built during the 2020 lockdown.
Earlier · UX case studies
From my UX training at Bloc (2017–2018): end-to-end product concepts shaped through user research, prototyping, and usability testing.
A web-based cloud-storage platform built around community and collaboration — bold, human, and workflow-first.
An app for artists to sell and share exclusive content — pairing creators with a designer to keep their vision intact.

How I work
Every project begins with listening — to the problem, the people, and what's needed beyond the brief. Then I design the thing and build it, sweating the details until it feels coherent and calm. Good products don't just work; they hold the experience they're for.

About
I'm a Chicago-based designer, builder, and musician. My background runs from UX/UI design and front-end development to a decade of project management and creative production.
What ties it together is range: I can sit with a problem, design the thing, and build it. The music background isn't a side note — it's where I learned taste, craft, and how to finish work worth shipping.
I work across two practices. This is the product, design, and build side — for hire. The studio and creative-sound side lives at Being Sound.
