About

I live in a space between Product Design and Software Engineering. Having spent many years in both functions I strive to bring these disciplines together to craft magical experiences across the internet. I also make music and am always up for coffee.

Projects

Ongoing

LiveKit Cloud supports running real-time audio/video apps at scale with just a few lines of code. I designed the product experience which allows users to see how their applications are running and allows them to dive deep into sessions to help understand and debug their users.

2023

Did design + development for the new LiveKit homepage. Lots of little interaction and design details. ✨ Check it out!

2023

Recently did score, sound effects, and mixing for the short film "Backwards".

2022

The Narrator's Hut is a place to browse and collect artifacts from the Weird Wilds while hearing stories from the Narrator themself. Each story was backed by immersive audio stories that we later made available as a podcast. Here are some screens of the story and minting experience. I did UI/UX and a bit of front-end dev for this project. I also helped produce some of the audio stories which were performed live at NFT NYC.

2022

Helped produce audio for a handful of stories for an NFT project we repurposed for a podcast.
