Shaping the Future of Built and Digital Environments
Hi, I’m Todd. I design at the intersection of physical and digital spaces.
My journey began with architecture—designing resilient, adaptable, and human-centered environments, from creative rezoning to floodproofing and adaptive reuse. I now apply that same problem-solving mindset to UX/UI and product design, shaping thoughtful, impactful digital experiences.
My current interests lie in emerging technologies like AR, VR, and AI, where I see opportunities to transform how we interact with both digital and physical worlds.
