I build products and experiences at the intersection of AI, creativity, and human behavior.

Most recently, I earned my MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I explored how emerging technologies reshape creative work, authorship, and human expression. My work there focused on a simple but open-ended question: what does it mean to create in an age where machines can generate?

I'm drawn to building products at the earliest stages, when the problem is still forming and each decision shapes what it becomes.

During my MBA, I spent a summer at Raspberry AI as their first product manager, working with machine learning engineers and fashion designers to bring structure to how the team built products and reimagine the product as a more seamless, end-to-end creative experience. I was also a Venture Capital Fellow at Peterson Ventures, where I evaluated early-stage companies and worked closely with founders - sharpening my perspective on what makes products resonate, scale, and endure from the earliest stages.

At Public.com, I built and led the company's first Growth product team, defining the roadmap and executing alongside a small cross-functional team to drive sustainable revenue. I led the development of products spanning investment recommendations, desktop trading, and Learn & Earn - reframing financial education as participation rather than instruction.

Earlier in my career at LinkedIn, I transitioned from strategy into product, working across growth, experimentation, and go-to-market. That experience shaped how I think about systems - how small interventions can shift behavior at scale, and how products become meaningful through the actions they enable.

I'm especially interested in how AI can move beyond automation to become a medium for exploration, co-creation, and new forms of expression.
