Designer & technologist in Houston.
I follow questions between physical objects, digital tools, and the human experiences that give them meaning.
Interests become questions. Questions become objects, tools, and essays. Here’s the thread that runs through my practice.
The tools we use shape what we can make. Protobench is my primary exploration at OpusLABS: a workspace for editable CAD, circuit boards, and an AI collaborator. I’m interested in helping people stay close to a design as it changes.
An ambition for creativity becomes a workbench.

Photography asks me to notice what belongs in a frame. DJing asks me to listen to how one moment leads into another. That curiosity carries into Velogra: using code to explore rhythm, repetition, and unexpected forms.
A way of looking becomes a way of making.

An interface is also a relationship. I’m interested in the meanings we give objects, the language we use with AI, and how technology is experienced through the body. Opus brings those questions into ongoing research on touch and digital emotion.
What about everyday life?
The questions return to ordinary life: how we store food, the materials we live with, and our relationship with the things we need. Mittee explores terra cotta and produce storage. My writing carries that curiosity toward land, family, and self-sufficiency.
A material becomes a different kind of everyday care.

The OpusLABS visionA workspace for people making physical things.
Protobench is the primary startup and product I’m building within OpusLABS. It brings editable CAD, circuit boards, and an AI collaborator into one hardware-design workspace.
Inside Protobenchprotobenchai.comA workspace for making physical things.
Industrial design is where I started. Today, I move between research, physical making, interfaces, and code. The question helps me choose the medium.
More about my backgroundI work from a human need toward a clear product direction, then through the flows, interfaces, and small interactions that make it usable.
Product strategy · UX / UI · Interaction design
Sketches, CAD, material exploration, and physical prototypes give an idea enough form to ask better questions about its use.
Industrial design · CAD · Prototyping
I build interfaces and experiments that let me work directly with an idea, from creative coding to AI-assisted hardware design.
Frontend development · Creative coding · AI tools
I’m interested in how technology is felt and understood. Writing helps me examine the assumptions inside the things I make.
Embodied interaction · Design research · Writing
Some questions become projects. Others need the room of an essay. I write to notice, reflect, and work out what to make next.
A case for exploration before narrowing the work.
On the human qualities that give connection its substance.
Working across disciplines, and the friction of fitting between them.
