Creative input / technical output
No problem too big.
I like making things and making things work. Creative thinking helps me see possibilities; technical thinking turns them into something useful.



I like being useful.
The thing I enjoy most isn't a particular platform or type of project. It's being handed something complicated, understanding how all the pieces fit together, and leaving it better than I found it. That's basically what Lia Labs is.
Why work with a generalist?

Sometimes you need a specialist. Sometimes you need one person who can see the entire system.
