Making something every day for—
What I'm working on
01 — 04

01 / Product design / T-Mobile

T-Mobile / Veloce

At T-Mobile, I helped design a planning platform for RF engineers. The work was about making dense network data easier to navigate without losing the details they need.

02 / Practice / Every day

Daily practice

Since September 8, 2021 I've made and posted something every single day. It's how I learn a tool long before I have a reason to use it at work.

03 / Community / New York

Creative Coding NYC

I organize a weekly space where artists and technologists make with code, share what they are learning, and build alongside one another.

04 / Process / Writing

Making 3D feel painted

Digital work can feel physical and textural. This is the process behind my painterly 3D work and the tool I built for it.
