In 2025, I built Piñata solo: design, development, and App Store launch, using AI-assisted tools. I'm a product designer with 17+ years of experience shipping consumer apps used by millions and B2B platforms driving real business outcomes.

My design career started with a magic trick. Before YouTube existed, I taught myself to build websites on GeoCities and Homestead just to share my close-up magic with the world. That itch to make things never left.

When I'm not designing, I'm with my kids.
