I’m Brandon – I build for community and uncover stories through design.
Growing up surrounded by the diversity of Queens, New York fueled my curiosity to understand how our communities navigate the everyday. As individuals, we possess unique histories. Yet collectively, many of us unknowingly share the same experiences and frustrations.
I lived a lot of my life to make sense of these stories around me. I dabbled in psych research, filmmaking, social media, among other endeavors, all in an effort to share my learnings and build solutions for those around me. This eventually led me to design: a way to reach others at scale.
I previously worked at Apple building more efficient design tools, and before that at Roblox simplifying game creator platforms. I specialize in emerging tech, creative tools, and design systems.
I also believe that fairness, collaboration, and real-world empathy is needed in every part of building with and for others.
