I've spent 4 years at Pinterest on Design Innovations – the team that keeps Pinterest Pinteresty. Half the job – deciding what Pinterest should feel like five years from now. Other half – being the expert other teams call when something feels off. In between – built the motion foundation from scratch and shipped a 3-tier celebration system (patent pending).

Before that, at VOCHI (AI-powered video editing app) I shipped a video effect that became #1 on iOS by saves.

I'm not afraid of code – a bit of a nerd about it, actually. I vibe-code, follow implementation, and stay close to engineers because that's where assumptions break. I got deep into motion systems because they were technically hard: spring functions, transition logic, why the system is built the way it is. The kind of understanding that doesn't fit in a handoff doc.

After hours: drawing, collage, animation, shooting on film and singing. I make things for the joy of it. Mountains whenever possible
