I architect the logic behind how we communicate and interact with our devices - and how they understand us.

I specialize in adaptive interaction systems that make technology feel predictive, helpful, and invisible.

With over 40 patents and a background spanning NASA, Samsung, and Meta, I lead the design of ambient ecosystem controllers and AI-driven personalization frameworks. I transform deep technical complexity - from EMG signals and IMU-based gestures to proactive LLM pipelines - into seamless human experiences.

As a Lead Interaction Designer with over 15 years experience, I combine large-scale research with functional hardware-software prototyping to move products from "trackers" to "proactive companions."

I graduated magna cum laude from NC State University’s College of Design. My career has been defined by extreme constraints and 0-to-1 strategy, collaborating with world-class teams to define how intent, feedback, and control states transition across the next generation of device constellations.
