Hi, I'm Ari.I design the interaction, then write the code that ships it.

I'm a product designer and design engineer. I work in the space between design and engineering, where edge cases, failure states, and infrastructure limits either get resolved or get lost at handoff. I close that gap by carrying my own designs into production code.

I studied psychology at Willamette University, then completed General Assembly's software engineering immersive. I joined Meta in 2021 as a product design prototyper on Facebook's creator tools, and moved into design engineering in 2023, shipping zero-to-one features in the company's project management tool.

I'm excited to bring emerging technologies, AI tools especially, into how I design and build, because they shorten the distance between an idea and something a person can use. Faster iteration gives me more time with engineers, researchers, and product partners, and that time is where a product gets better and more accessible.
