JSN
Designer, Builder, Founder
Turning frontier technology into trusted products.
Most recently, I led product design for Visa’s first agentic commerce infrastructure platform. Also at Visa, I was the director for Visa Crypto Labs design team.
Before that, I founded and built a video platform, taking the product from concept through design, technical architecture, launch, customer acquisition, and profitability.
Today, I use agentic engineering to merge design and working software – from Visa's agentic command line interface, to stealthworks, to this portfolio itself. I’m more energized to create now than I’ve ever been. See why.

TL;DR
A creator first.
I zoom all the way in: every pixel, component, phrase, and interaction that eventually becomes a beautiful, functional whole. My background in graphic design, communications, and music trained my eye around craft, rhythm, and clarity. Today, that craft moves fluidly between Codex, Figma, and a growing set of AI-native tools.
I zoom all the way out: beyond design to strategy, business model, software development, distribution, and the systems that make a product real. You cannot build a startup without moving between those levels often. AI is making those once-separate disciplines feel newly connected, which is a big part of why I’m so energized right now.
AI is rapidly transforming how products gets made – for the better, I think. But the human instinct to build with taste, judgment, and care matters more than ever.
I’m on team human. My 4-year-old daughter reminds me why every day.
