I run OCTOBER, an independent design studio for startups and VCs. We ship products people actually want to use.
11 years in Product Design, Brand and Marketing. I build web apps, React Native apps, native SwiftUI for iOS and Mac, Chrome extensions, landing pages and funnels. Through the studio, I've led UI/UX and brand for VC funds, AI startups, fintech, beauty tech, consumer apps and B2B SaaS.

I work best with forward-thinking teams building at the edge of what's possible. People who care deeply about craft and aren't afraid to move fast. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
