Solo builder working out of Charleston, South Carolina. Earlier this year I shipped a hospitality SMS product and got a serious education in SMS infrastructure. I'm now applying that to RelayKit — compliant SMS that drops into your app, wired by your AI tool.
Before going solo, I spent 15 years as a product designer — most recently through a consultancy on a major update to Panasonic Avionics' inflight WiFi platform, and before that at Knowde, a marketplace for the chemical industry. Previously, I designed for Microsoft, Amazon, and Nordstrom in Seattle.
