Designer, engineer, and founder. My work centers on culture, publishing, and emerging technologies. Interaction, interface, perception, and environment. This focus centers on the creation of tools for connection.
I was the founding design engineer at Cargo Collective, a personal publishing platform for creative work. I was then Co-founder and Head of Product at Mirror, a long-form publishing platform enabling new ways of funding and sustaining long-form writing practice.
I'm currently working on the early stages of Assemblage, a publishing platform assembling pages of work contextually around visitors using natural language. Say hello if you have interest in early funding.
