Creative Technologist • Sound Designer • Systems Builder • Storyteller

I’ve spent my career creating experiences that help people feel something.

Now I’m using everything I’ve learned about sound, storytelling, technology, and people to build things that make their lives and work better.

What I do

Three ways the work shows up

Build better systems

Find the friction. Fix the workflow.

I find friction in the way people work and build systems that make the work clearer, easier, and more reliable. Apps, APIs, automation, dashboards, AV, integrations.

Create better experiences

Technically correct is not enough.

Good systems should make the experience better for the person using them. Live events, leadership, operations, and the human side of a tool.

Tell better stories

What is the audience hearing right now?

Story changes what people notice, understand, remember, and feel. Sound, immersive rooms, and language that makes a complicated thing human.

How I think

Different mediums. Same question.

How do we make this work better for the people experiencing it?

Understand the problem. Understand the people. Create clarity. Build something useful. Make the experience better. I like finding the thing that’s making work harder than it needs to be—and building something that fixes it.

Human work

Finding the Win

Find the part that is still yours.

A platform for small, meaningful steps when life is loud. I share as a peer, not as a therapist. It belongs here because the same question shows up in software: what can this person still do next?

About

The medium changes. The thinking does not.

I’m a Native Hawaiian creative problem-solver working at Recursion as a Senior AV Specialist. Theater taught me how complicated systems have to hold under real deadlines. Now I build tools, automations, and stories with that same instinct.

The longer story

What I’m exploring

Sonic storytelling. Designed Agency. Prototypes that are not ready to be the headline. The unfinished work lives on Ideas so the portfolio can stay honest.
