About

I started my career as an architect, trained to observe how people move through spaces before designing anything. That instinct for systems and human behavior is what I bring to brands and digital products today. I'm the co-founder of One Eight Kōbō, a boutique design studio that partners with founders and growing businesses to build brands, products, and digital experiences that scale. If you're building something and need a design partner who thinks like a founder, let's talk.
