You have the sauce, I help bottle it.
I design it, then I build it — turning creative ideas into products people actually use, with a recipe your team can follow.
Research-led product design, from first interview to shipped build. EdTech tools, iOS apps, and usability studies, each with the full process behind it.
UX/UI Work
Design Work
Branding, print, and apparel from Dawson Creative Studio, plus the classroom materials I designed as a teacher. Candle Soda, patches, posters, and more.
Video Work
Directing and editing for clients and my own content, from social Reels and ads to a 2D animated short.
Primary Skills
Prototyping & AI Builds
Figma to working prototype, then shipped in code with Claude Code.
EdTech Product Design
I taught STEM. Now I design tools for teachers, students, and admins.
Branding & Graphic Design
Logos, packaging, print, and apparel, from Candle Soda to custom patches.
User Research
I run the research and see it through. Findings lead the build, not guesses.
Design Systems
Tokens, components, and docs. Built so the team can follow it like a recipe.
Video Editing & Motion
Reels, ads, and 2D animation. I direct and edit, story first.
Why the ketchup bottle?
Building a design system can get messy. The best ones aren't the prettiest — they're the ones every person on the team can follow like a recipe.
The ketchup bottle is my favorite UX reference: an ordinary object designed so well it keeps working long after anyone stops thinking about it. That's the goal — products that hold up as teams and ideas grow.
Bottled
One system everyone can use
The sauce
Ideas, sketches, one-offs
Got sauce? Let’s bottle it.
Open to product design roles in EdTech and AI-assisted tools.
