All postsAI is collapsing the distance between imagination and execution. For people who have always had more ideas than bandwidth, this is not a productivity upgrade — it is a structural shift in what becomes possible.

I'm a product designer and design engineer based in Chattanooga TN. I love making delightful end-to-end products that fulfill a clear and meaningful purpose. I am a multidisciplinary. I design, code, write, draw, and make music.
I studied Computer Science at the University of Tennessee. From there, I worked at an RFID startup, building RFID solutions for National Labs and Inventory Businesses. Then I joined (and co-founded) a SaaS-based storytelling startup for businesses and institutions, where we earned The Spirit of Innovation Awards and was also accepted into the 2019 Techstars Austin Business Accelerator.
I've also worked with brands across industries, like health, tech, finance, retail, and more. From building apps to designing platforms to imagining the future of AI collaboration. Love, enthusiasm, creativity, relentless curiosity, and integrity guide everything I do.
Kind Words
Josh has a rare combination of design intuition and engineering sensibility. He doesn't just make things look good, he makes them work beautifully.

Working with Josh felt like having a full creative studio in one person. He understood our brand, our users, and what we needed before we even finished explaining.
Morgan Lee
Founder, SaaS Startup
Josh brings this infectious enthusiasm to every project. The result is always something that feels considered, original, and genuinely delightful to use.
