Hey, I’m Brentt!

I’m a San Francisco based interaction designer with a keen interest in pastries, neapolitan pizza, and bike rides through this beautiful city.


I fell in love with UX in 2013 when I started designing an iOS app for controlling smart-home lighting. In 2018, I got serious about pivoting my career and completed a 6-month intensive UX & UI bootcamp at UC Berkeley Extension.


I’m inspired by Bret Victor’s vision for humane computing, and Edward Tufte’s exquisite work on information graphics.


If I were a Messages sticker, I’d be a mer-pug:

Idealistic

Sensitive

Hard-working

...and willing to take big risks when it counts

But usually I just look like a human riding a tiny bike.
