For the first time in years I've got a blank whiteboard to start my day with.

I was recently laid off due to funding constraints. As a founding design engineer, I:

- Produced the brand
- Created our design system
- Designed and built our desktop harness, remote companion app and agent platform
- Shipped the site to tell the world about the incredible things we made

Great work doesn’t always guarantee the outcome you hoped for. So I’m looking for my next challenge.

I'm looking for companies that are:
- Remote first
- Growing
- Facing hard design & engineering challenges
- Value quality (above all)
- And want to set a new bar for quality across all surfaces

I love working on messy and complex projects and making them clear, simple and cohesive. I've got years of experience building design systems for teams (and agents) and taking products to the next level, I also enjoy prototyping and iterating on ideas fast.

If you know of or work at a company that sounds like this, send them my way.

I’d rather show you what I can do than send a generic application.
