kept it brief.

My work lives where social media, UI/UX, and AI meet.

Right now, I'm interning at Brand New Box in Lawrence, Kansas, where I get to design and build real products, then write about how they came together. I'm really into vibe coding, shipping ideas instead of just talking about them, and figuring out what happens when design, marketing, and code all start blending together.

I'm optimistic about the future of AI, fairly obsessed with building things, and usually working on something that may or may not need to exist... until I decided it did.
