About
I've worked in the xr industry since 2019, laser focused on not just making magical experiences, but XR experiences that are incredibly usable :) i've recently moved more into 2D UX - shipping a desktop based screen recorder, and a fitness app for android + ios.

Not the right mentor for: Most of my experience has been more with startups than large corporations. I can give you general advice - but I am definitely more scrappy than process heavy!
