Professional Journey

My professional path has been non-linear, shaped by entrepreneurship, creative work, and hands-on experience building and operating real products from the ground up.

Creative Foundations

Built a diverse creative practice through commissioned artwork and live music performance, delivering portraits, landscapes, pet illustrations, and custom signage while developing a sharp sensitivity to client needs, constraints, and execution.

The First Venture

Founded a coffeehouse, starting it from the ground up, and managing everything along the way including equipment procurement, inventory, staffing, vendor relationships, customer relationships, and daily operations.

Coffee Craftsmanship

Apprenticed as a coffee roaster, mastering roasting coffee beans from over 20 single-origin producers. Later became General Manager for a growing coffeehouse and bakery, leading expansion into new territories.

The Tech Leap

Joined an early-stage GPS tracking startup, where my experience in customer service and business operations positioned me to bridge the gap between users and technology.

Product Evolution

This marked a pivotal shift in my career, becoming fully immersed in product management—translating user needs into technical solutions, and driving business outcomes through data-driven decisions.

Product Management

In recent roles, I draw on a blend of creative, entrepreneurial, and technical experience to deliver thoughtful, user-focused solutions. My journey from artist to entrepreneur to product professional has shaped a holistic approach that balances user needs, business goals, and technical possibilities.

Current Frequencies

While my public performances are mostly on pause, music remains a daily part of my life.
