About me
From a small town country boy born in Bakersfield, CA and raised in Temecula, CA to becoming a grown man exploring the horizons of the Big Apple, I never would have thought to pursue product design as a career choice before an introductory course at NYU reeled me in.
Since then, I’ve relocated to Los Angeles, CA and I’ve obtained over 7 years of experience shaping products across both startups and large-scale enterprises. Currently, I work at Amazon, where I contribute to design solutions that impact millions. Throughout my career, I’ve built a strong foundation in end-to-end design, with a deep appreciation for cross-functional collaboration across product, engineering, research, and marketing teams.
I thrive in environments where creativity meets strategy, and I bring a thoughtful, user-centered approach to every challenge. Outside of work, you’ll often find me playing the guitar, gaming with my friends, satiating my hunger for movies through AMC’s A-List Membership, or exploring the outdoors with my energetic, partner-in-crime Australian Shepherd, Miya.
