About Me

Bridging Engineering & Art

I'm a mechanical engineer with a serious relationship with music and creative direction. By day, I design precision systems and optimize complex processes. Outside the office, I produce music and build visual identities.

The technical precision and artistic instinct aren't separate modes — they compound. Whether it's an automated assembly system or a sonic landscape, the same attention to constraint and detail is at work.

Based in the Pacific Northwest, I collaborate with companies and artists who understand that the best constraints breed the most interesting solutions.
