Welcome to my corner of the internet 🌐!
I’m a Product Manager and Designer with a career shaped by one continuous thread: building products that bring human communication into digital experiences.
My career started in communication design and progressed toward UX/UI design. I focused on crafting mobile-first portals and refining product loops that taught me how people interact with technology at a granular level.
From there, I moved into product design and strategy, introducing structured research and user-centric roadmaps that laid the foundation for more natural, intuitive interfaces.
I lead the charge in pioneering image recognition for real estate. Associating machine learned room types by way of crowd sourcing proper labels changed the game for the entire real estate portal war ( think zillow, redfin and the like).
This quickly led me directly into conversational AI. At OJO Labs, I integrated chatbots and ML features into both B2B and B2C apps — work that became a stepping stone toward today’s LLM-driven landscape.
Now, in my current role, I’m continuing that progression: applying design systems and scalable communication frameworks that anticipate where conversational AI is heading next.
For me, product work isn’t just about features — it’s about creating experiences that feel as natural and human as possible, even when powered by the most advanced technology.
When I’m not shaping products, you’ll probably find me:
- Playing banjo 🎶 — from quiet practice to jam sessions with friends
- On the ice rink 🏒 — or designing for my hockey apparel side hustle
- Cycling or camping 🚲🚐 — exploring in my Eurovan on weekend adventures
- Bleeding orange for the SF Giants ⚾ — baseball season is year-round in my world
- Thrifting for vintage finds 🛍 — treasure-hunting in secondhand shops
- Streaming live 🎙️ — selling sports collectibles and memorabilia live on whatnot
- Volunteering 💙 — serving on the San Mateo County Behavioral Health Commission to advocate for mental health resources
Core Values
- Curiosity — the drive to explore both new technologies and new hobbies
- Community — from local volunteering to cross-functional collaboration
- Conversation — not just in AI products, but in the way I connect with people
