Meaningful storytelling. Powerful design.

My Story

I'm a business graduate and animator/writer turned software developer, and founder of Lucidian - A software company that solves problems for creatives. I build the tools all creatives wish existed — AI animation platforms, desktop utilities, systems that empower users to perform at the highest level.

I specialize in UX design, focused mostly on generating the most powerful and rewarding user experiences possible. I enjoy turning frustrating problems into simple, functional, and beautifully designed architecture. Software so fluid users just grab it and go.

When i'm not problem solving, I'm storytelling.

Putting my own software to the test.

I am currently hyper-focused on developing my flagship project "Cinestorm," and unfortunately unavailable to take on new projects for the time being; but I am open to any inquiries or questions.
