I’m a product design leader based out of Raleigh, North Carolina, with over 12 years of experience building digital products.
I’m currently the Head of Product at Code4rena, a smart contract auditing platform. We help secure onchain projects by connecting them with security researchers, who compete to find high-severity vulnerabilities and keep them out of production code.
Previously, I was the co-founder of Sprise, a software development agency and product studio, helping our clients earn over $2.1M in aggregate revenue. I also co-founded Pally.gg, a creator payments platform that has helped thousands of people from 80 different countries earn over $600,000 in aggregate, which was acquired in 2023.
I am a futurist. I find technology fascinating—it makes sci-if real, it stretches what is possible, and at its best, it gives people super powers. Witnessing breakthrough tech for the first time feels like magic. Through design thinking, I turn ideas into product experiences, hopefully with a little dash of that magic along the way.
Design is a team sport, and I believe the best teams are built with intent. I help design teams mature, by developing junior and mid-level designers, and creating systems that make teams more effective.
I value…
- Integrity: Creating value while upholding values. The business of doing good is good for business.
- Ownership: Behaving as an owner. Having a bias towards action, where nothing is “someone else’s problem”. Accountability over ego.
- Candor: Communicating the truth, tempered with kindness. Empowering others through authenticity.
- Purpose: Moving teams towards a mission-driven future, and executing incrementally to get there.
- Meritocracy: Decision-making using the best ideas, no matter where they come from.
- Growth: Always a student. Never stop learning.
