Hi, I’m Max.
I learned how to make buildings in university, but now I’m designing digital spaces. I bring an architect's eye for structure and space to interfaces and digital products that are both useful and make the most mundane of tasks feel as addicting as playing a video game.
Most of my work starts in Figma and ends in working prototypes. I take a project from concept to a live, functional app through AI-assisted app development.
When I'm not working, I’m making music, sketching on my iPad, or annoying my cat, Preston.
