• Designing and prototyping novel interactions for next-generation wearables

• Prototyping AI-driven user experiences in connection with hardware

• Advancing team capabilities in Origami Studio for hardware prototyping

I help early-stage startups turn their ideas into market-ready products. Specializing in high-fidelity prototyping and rapid iteration, I partner with engineering teams to build, test, and refine experiences to help launch them to the world.

Designed the end-to-end experience for the Aiden Precision Coffee Maker, Fellow’s most advanced and connected product to date.

• Led UI/UX design across the physical brewer interface

• Created high-fidelity prototypes using Origami Studio to test and refine interactions

• Temporarily stepped into project management for the firmware team to keep execution on track

Currently designing another product for Fellow, planned for a future release (still under wraps).

After working with Ghost for a couple of months as a Designer in Residence (part of the Sutter Hill Ventures portfolio) I ended up joining the team full time. During my time at Ghost, I designed novel multi-modal HMI experiences for their self-driving car platform. A few key projects included:

• Driving Simulator: Created an in-office simulator to safely test dangerous driving maneuvers, bypassing the need for early-stage test track trials which saved significant cost on track rentals and engineering resources.

• Multi-Modal Experience Testing: Led on-track testing of a comprehensive driving experience, utilizing a real car to integrate display control, haptics, audio, and LEDs, (all prototyped in Origami Studio) demonstrating the system's effectiveness in high-speed scenarios.

• Test-Track Tool: Helped build a tool to simplify setup, observation, and debugging for engineers on the test track, massively speeding up the testing process for track days.
