Hello!

I joined Glean as its fifth designer and have been here through a lot of the product’s evolution. I’m drawn to ambiguous problems and the systems and interactions that shape them.

I found my way to design through a human-robot interaction lab in college. Watching people figure out unfamiliar machines made me curious about how we introduce new technologies in ways that make sense.

Side quests

An open Glean work passport with project stamps

Glean Passport

I thought it’d be fun to visualize a work passport for all the projects you've worked on (posted on X).

The Underwallet

I recently got into leather-making and accidentally designed a wallet that looked like underwear.

Task Valley

I created a game using Glean’s API to find work I need to do and have NPCs work on it for me.
