In early 2023 I helped build Eric Wall's Orb, with the intention of growing the early expirement to a platform. Orb Land is this platform, designed to give tradable access to leading experts, and monetized with a unique Harberger tax model. We tend not to define specific roles, and I am building all parts of Orb Land, from smart contract protocol to the user interface.

• Multiple versions of the Orb Land protocol, open-sourced
• Frotend, currently implemented in React and Next.js
• Art direction for WebGL Orbs

I joined Cube3 in mid-2022 as the Head of Product. While I was following crypto research since 2016 and helped many crypto projects as a contractor, I have never worked on a blockchain project full-time. Working on Cube3 allowed me to focus on this new frontier and deepen my product thinking and crypto research skills.

• Helped define the product structure, from technical definitions to user experience
• Authored company’s first patent
• Designed the UI for adminisrative interfaces

Lead Designer

Contracting as a Product Designer

2019 - 2021

From early 2019, I was looking to find a good balance between product design contracting and building my own projects. During these years I selectively took on some of the most interesting contracting opportunities and helped build new products. Some of the most interesting projects include:

• Millo, a portable blender with a minimal hardware design
• Oxygen, a telehealth platform

In addition to that, I conducted over 30 user interviews to help identify most promising product development directions.
