About

Building is in my DNA. For 15 years I've been obsessed with the intersection of design, code, and now AI — not because I have to, but because I genuinely can't stop.

From Patreon and Flipboard to Snickers and Mars, Inc. — I've shipped production work across React, Next.js, GSAP, and headless CMS platforms. Today I also build AI workflows with n8n, custom chatbots, and automation systems that save teams hours every week.

Nether Realm

Design & Creative Direction

🐉Iconic franchise experience

Designed a cinematic web presence true to the Mortal Kombat legacy

NetherRealm Studios, creators of the iconic Mortal Kombat franchise, are known for bold visuals, cinematic intensity, and unmistakable atmosphere. I collaborated with the agency We Can’t Stop Thinking to design a 6-page website and blog experience, with the goal of staying as close as possible to the essence of Mortal Kombat.
The design focused on immediate recognition — creating an experience where the moment you land on the site, you feel Mortal Kombat. Dark, high-contrast visuals, dramatic typography, and cinematic pacing were used to echo the franchise’s intensity, lore, and legacy, while still supporting a clear, modern web experience.
