About

I solve design problems by learning about people, exploring broad conceptual territory, and continuously making things. I’m driven to find solutions that are efficient, durable, and beautiful.

I currently lead Industrial Design at Toast. We work to improve the restaurant experience for workers and guests. Feel free to get in touch.
