About me

Black-and-white close-up portrait of a man wearing glasses and a beanie in low light.

As a product design leader with 20 years of experience in SaaS and enterprise systems, I create intuitive, user centered solutions that simplify complex workflows, and help to keep people safe from mediocre user experiences.

I’ve driven design initiatives across mobile and web platforms, spearheaded legacy tool redesigns, and built scalable design systems that help teams move faster and deliver more. Passionate about untangling complexity, I advocate for accessibility and user needs while balancing technical and business priorities, and I do this well.

Key strengths
  • Designing scalable design systems and simple UX for SaaS and other complex environments
  • Advocating for accessibility and user-centered product strategies
  • Transforming ambiguity into clear, actionable structures and timelines
  • Mentoring teams with empathy and fostering a collaborative culture
