Designer-Engineer
I make complex, quantitative systems feel obvious to the people who rely on them: turning strategy into clean, consistent execution across product, brand, and engineering.

Design isn't about trends. It's about trust.
Whether that's a founder telling their story or a team acting on a model's recommendation, my job is to make the vision clear and the system worthy of confidence. I lead the way I build: strategy first, hands on the work, and a multidisciplinary team trusted to ship.
Get in touch01Strategy before execution
Understand the landscape, pick the leverage, define success before anything gets made. The most expensive design mistakes happen before the first screen.
02Proof over marketing
No hype; make the work defensible. Every claim sourced, every prediction held against what actually happened. Numbers over adjectives.
03Systems scale taste
Design systems, templates, and repeatable craft let one point of view ship consistently across a dozen brands, without me in every file.
04Lead from the work
I direct multidisciplinary teams across brand, UX, and content while staying hands-on. The fastest way to earn a team's trust is to make the work better in front of them, and to build a culture of craft that outlasts any single project.
What partners say
"Buildcraft was a true partner. They listened to our needs, took an early direction, and turned it into a complete brand foundation we could build on."
"Buildcraft helped us simplify the product into clearer flows and cleaner screens, so we could ship with more confidence."
Buildcraft is my independent design practice. When clients say Buildcraft, they're describing work I did end to end.
