10+ years in design, art direction, and brand for a global health app trusted by 30M+ people. I set visual direction, build multidisciplinary teams, and design the systems — creative, operational, AI-enabled — that keep craft exceptional at scale.

CREATIVITY ISN'T THE ART OF MAKING THINGS BEAUTIFUL. IT'S THE ART OF MAKING MEANING CLEAR. AND MAKING MONEY.

Full strategy

AI health coaches all sound the same — polite, clinical, forgettable. [ But weight loss is emotional ] When motivation fades, a functional tone won't bring people back.

Always know what to do next

Say hello to Blinky —
your relentless motivator

Sassy, cute, and just the right amount of unhinged. He celebrates your wins and drags you back on track when you slip.

Simplify app home screen with Blinky

Idea

An emotional layer over the data: Blinky celebrates, worries, and cheers with you. A cold "Poor" rating becomes someone who cares — and users who feel cared for stay.
