Intentional by design

Everything I make — from product strategy to micro-interactions — is guided by a calm, minimal aesthetic and a relentless focus on real humans. DACCAA is my playground for experimenting with new technology, building clean systems, and helping brands find their digital voice.

Maker. Founder. Partner.

Whether I'm prototyping an AI-assisted workflow or architecting an iOS experience, I obsess over details you can feel but rarely see. I thrive at the intersection of engineering, product, and brand.

Human-first process

My process is deliberate: insights, sketches, systems, then polish. The result is work that is technically sound yet emotionally resonant — the kind of experience that quietly earns trust.

Always in beta

You'll usually find me testing the latest Apple frameworks, exploring motion design with GSAP, or simplifying complex business flows with a friend over espresso.

Signature offerings

From zero to launch — I partner with founders, teams, and dreamers to deliver experiences that stand out in a sea of same.
