I started my design journey at 13 when I joined the development team for ArmA 3: Life. This early venture sparked a city-based roleplay modding revolution, paving the way for the popular GTA 5 RP craze. Our project captivated a community of about 100,000 members and garnered tens of millions of views on YouTube, marking an early milestone in my career.

At 15, I ventured further into game development with Monolith: Roleplay for Garry's Mod, co-created with my friend Gonzo. This project further evolved my work at ArmA 3: Life, creating an immersive city-based roleplaying and storytelling world, achieving over 100,000 downloads on Steam Workshop and around 4 million views on YouTube.

My academic journey at UC Berkeley, particularly in a class with Professor Walker, led me to create the VR Sleep Museum, a unique intersection of technology and cognitive science. Professor Walker highly appreciated this project, leading to my selection for a special weekly paper circle in his lab, a privilege granted to only a handful of students from a class of 400.

Transitioning into the financial tech sector, I was one of two interns chosen from 3,000 applicants for a product design role at Cash App. This experience provided invaluable insights into designing an evocative and resonant product and brand, as well as an understanding of the nitty gritty of financial services under the mentorship of Taylor Hunt.

My career trajectory then led me to join the founding design team of Capital, a startup focused on creating innovative banking and fundraising tools for founders, working closely with Brandon Jacoby, a former design lead at Cash App and inventor of Cash App Boosts.

Most recently, I contracted as a product designer for Visible, a startup building a financial network and operating system for real estate, collaborating with veteran designers like Andrew Borovsky, Andrew Lin, and Jerry Knight.

As a recent graduate of UC Berkeley, I am excited to continue honing my craft, putting particular emphasis on creating products that combine masterful storytelling, novel interaction design, and creating iconic brands.
