Work experience

I've been trying to make the internet less annoying, one pixel at a time. Ex-Pinterest/Twitter/Walmart+/Amazon design ringleader. Currently in Irvine, teaching AI to pass the Turing test with flying colors.

Half time designing, half time keeping designers caffeinated. Showing the next gen how to break rules properly and avoid my rookie mistakes.
