I taught myself design the way I taught myself to break.
Reps, feedback, and building the room I needed to practice in, right down to the training floor in my garage. Same discipline, whether it's a six-step or a design system.

FOCUSDesign systems · designing for AI · prototyping in code
I'm a product designer and b-boy based in Dallas, with six years across A-D Global, Breaking Boundaries, and fromAtoB, designing software for teams that care how the thing actually works, not just how it looks in a mockup.
My edge is the seam between design and engineering. I speak fluent engineer. I prototype in code and design with the constraints of production in mind from the first frame, so the work ships closer to the intent, with less lost in handoff.
Breaking gave me the instinct. Design gave it somewhere to go.
Off the clock
A product is just a routine you run for someone else.
What breaking taught me about design
Breaking taught me to improvise inside tight constraints, read a room in real time, and drill one move until it looks effortless. Good design has the same shape. Rhythm, timing, and the confidence to commit to a direction and land it clean, then the humility to run it back when it isn't tight yet.
It's also why I don't treat polish as decoration. In a cypher, the gap between fine and unforgettable is the reps. Same with an interface.
