Ed. 003  ·  In the Studio

Where I get to be loud with color.

Precision on paper.

In printmaking I prepare meticulously, then humidity, pressure, and the process itself change my mind for me. Illustration is the other half. Layers, saturation, and an undo button.

My tech journey started in 2004 on a FIRST Robotics team focused on accessibility and human-centered automation. Twenty years later I'm product managing AI-powered tools at Apple.
