Design Engineer & Creative Director

Self-taught designer who grew up in startups. Creative director behind a string of Web3 industry firsts, now building AI-native products end to end: brand, interface, and code. I see the whole system (the creative concept, the economic model, the technical execution) and connect the dots.
