I'm Summer,|
I design products, build systems, and ship things - often with AI. I work across the full product lifecycle, from research and strategy to design and development. I love making things work, solving problems, and exploring what's next. I'm currently open to new challenges.

VALUES
What I Value
Curiosity-Driven
I build at the edge of design and technology — always learning, always experimenting, always asking why.
Educator at Heart
A previous career in education shaped how I think about mentorship, clarity, and designing for real people.
Systems Thinking
I see patterns and design for scale — crafting systems that solve the immediate problem and the next ten.
