Nobody needs another tech bro with opinions — so you’ll only find me speaking and writing about topics I’m genuinely passionate about, where my lived experience can actually add value. I regularly talk about building highly collaborative remote design teams, fostering a spirit of creativity, fun, and humanity in an AI-driven world, and leading designers with heart.
