I am a product designer and builder who has spent over a decade working at the intersection of design, technology, and entrepreneurship. My journey began in traditional product design roles, where I learned the fundamentals of user experience, interface design, and product strategy at various startups and technology companies. Over time, I became increasingly interested in not just designing products, but actually building them, which led me to explore development tools and methodologies that could bridge the gap between design and implementation.
My approach to product development has always been rooted in rapid experimentation and learning by doing. I believe that the best way to validate ideas is to build functional prototypes quickly, test them with real users, and iterate based on feedback. This philosophy drove me to explore AI-assisted development tools like Cursor, which have transformed how I bring ideas to life. I have used these tools to build numerous products, from internal tools to customer-facing applications, and have experienced firsthand how they democratize software creation.
I am passionate about teaching others to leverage these modern tools to become builders themselves. My teaching style focuses on practical application rather than theoretical knowledge, emphasizing the product thinking and problem-solving skills that matter most when creating real-world applications. I have mentored dozens of designers, entrepreneurs, and non-technical professionals, helping them overcome the traditional barriers to software development and empowering them to execute on their ideas independently.
My work centers on the belief that in the age of AI-assisted development, the ability to think clearly about product problems and communicate effectively with AI tools is more valuable than memorizing programming syntax. I focus on helping people develop the mental models and workflows that enable them to build confidently, even without traditional coding backgrounds. Through my courses and teaching, I aim to expand access to product creation, enabling more diverse voices to participate in building the digital products that shape our world.
