The Ongoing Project

A living portfolio of design work, from UX and product design to photography and creative side projects. Each piece reflects the joy of creating and the curiosity that keeps me designing.

“Design in progress — a reflection of growth, process, and purpose.”

This portfolio is never finished, just like good design. It grows as I do, reflecting the constant balance between creativity, usability, and impact. Here, you’ll find projects, experiments, and lessons that shape how I approach design today.

Please note: Due to NDAs, projects have been sanitized, generalized, and simplified.


Master's Research: Business Innovation

A few of my favorite papers I wrote while pursuing my master of Science with Full Sail University from 2024 to 2025.

Tony Fadell
Tony Fadell’s journey, like that of the Wright Brothers, exemplifies how creative mastery, resilience through failure, and user-focused innovation can lead to groundbreaking entrepreneurial success.
The Lean Startup
A concise overview of the Lean Startup methodology, detailing its vision-steer-accelerate framework, MVP ethos, and iterative build-measure-learn loop as a faster, cheaper alternative to traditional business planning for validating and evolving entrepreneurial ideas.
So Simple, It’s Hard
Sharing my take on startup advice, why meetings aren’t always it, and what matters when you’re an entrepreneur starting on a new venture.
Pitch, Please.

Product Design

Highlights of solutions helping with organization, conversion, and productivity. Many projects involved collaboration, and I genuinely enjoy brainstorming sessions with other creatives who are passionate about delivering the best user experience and achieving the best business outcomes.

Managing Collections: UX Case Study on Workflow Efficiency
Designing for speed and autonomy means helping users complete frequent tasks without friction. This feature focused on giving users direct control to edit, duplicate, or delete collections, reducing dependency on internal teams and improving overall workflow efficiency. The Problem Users needed a faster way to manage recurring content groups. Manual

3D Design

I love learning new skills, and this was a fun challenge to take on. After completing this project, I have developed a great appreciation for 3D artists.

The Blender Donut Challenge

Scripting Apple Shortcuts

I love learning new skills, and this was a fun one that will help make life easier! Apple has some powerful hidden features.

With a friend recently moving to Okinawa, I created an Apple shortcut to help them quickly reference the Yen-to-USD conversion. It can be saved in your command center on your iPhone and runs over any application you are running. The best part is that the converted amount at the end will automatically be copied to your local clipboard, in case you need to paste the answer elsewhere.

I hope to make more useful scripts in the future.

Dream Job?

My dream job would be one that helps make a difference in someone's life for the better. And by better, I mean their physical health or safety. I am passionate about fitness and I have witnessed it countless times how life-changing it can be. To have my career merge with fitness and design would be a dream come true. If it's not possible with fitness, I would love for my passion for design to help support the military from the civilian sector. Helping support the military in an aspect that keeps our country safe from the darkness that is in the world. Making a difference in those two specific fields would put me on cloud nine.
