I've been designing ever since I got my first computer with an internet connection when I was 15 years old. I was immediately drawn to the potential that the Web offered, and would spend most of my time browsing and inspecting websites so I could learn HTML and CSS and build my own.

As the Web matured and websites became web apps, I became interested in the problems that the medium could solve. I started to see communities and innovating products being built on this platform, and I couldn't be more excited to be a part of it. The web allowed anyone to create, collaborate, and share in ways we hadn’t seen before. It also allowed for innovative new products and technologies to be conceived and thrive. In a way, it felt like magic. 

I’ve dedicated most of my career to this ideal — empowering individuals and teams to create and collaborate. I’ve had the opportunity to work on project and task management tools for software teams, on publishing platforms used by millions, and most recently on helping teams find alignment and meaning at work.

It's been a few decades since, and I'm still excited as I was when I was a kid.
