Hi! My name is Brynn.

I am a multidisciplinary designer and developer currently solving problems in the health-tech space. I'm happiest when I’m making tools that help people work, collaborating with enthusiastic artists and engineers, and creating awesome things. I'm obsessive about pixels, interactions, and where the two meet.

When I'm not designing I'm either playing rpgs, sailing, studying magic (the “is this your card” type), or exploring a new hobby. I love creating magical experiences for intimate audiences. Constantly curious, I enjoy exploring fringe communities, strange hobbies, and teaching others along the way. Everything I experience gets funneled back into my work. I love creating across mediums and often find that the most powerful inspiration comes from the strangest places.

Let's Chat!
