About
Main bio
I spend most of my time working on products in transition, places where technology is actively reshaping how people communicate, coordinate, and make decisions. Usually the people using these products are multitasking, under pressure, and trying to adapt to changing workflows while still getting real work done. I’m interested in how thoughtful product design can make those shifts feel more natural.
I’ve worked on teams of two and teams of twenty. I’ve had projects with deep research and others where I had to move forward with incomplete information. I’ve worked within existing systems and built new patterns from scratch. What stays consistent is staying curious, asking better questions, collaborating closely with engineering and product teams, and building things that genuinely make people’s work feel easier.
When I’m not designing, I enjoy being outdoors playing football ⚽, cycling 🚴, walking through parks 🌳, or just looking for excuses to be outdoors 🏜️

What dive into my work
Starting with why, not what
Before jumping into wireframes, I want to understand what problem we're actually solving. Sometimes the thing people ask for isn't the thing they need. My favorite projects start with good questions and end with solutions that feel obvious in hindsight.
think first, draw later.
no perfect world here!
Designing for real constraints
Perfect conditions don't exist. Budgets are tight, timelines are aggressive, legacy systems are messy, and sometimes you just can't talk to users directly. I'm comfortable making smart decisions with imperfect information and finding creative solutions within real limitations.
Collaboration over hero design
The best work happens when designers, engineers, and product folks are actually talking to each other—not throwing things over the wall. I genuinely enjoy the back-and-forth of figuring out what's possible, what's practical, and what's going to create the most value.
we, not me.
details build trust.
Making the invisible visible
Some of the most impactful design work isn't flashy—it's the progress indicator that keeps people oriented, the auto-save that prevents panic, the validation message that actually helps instead of just saying 'error.' These details build trust.
What dive into my work
Timeline
Gravity Drive
Designed workflows, operational dashboards, and mobile experiences for a field operations platform used by distributed supervisor and field teams. Spent time on-site understanding how crews actually coordinate work, then redesigned the system around real-time visibility instead of static task management. Also built the design system from scratch so the product could scale consistently across mobile and desktop.

Worked on an AI-enabled healthcare experience for caregivers navigating treatment decisions in high-stress situations. Collaborated with researchers, developers, and healthcare stakeholders to design conversational flows that balance clarity, emotional context, and accessibility. Most of the work involved turning qualitative research into structured interaction patterns people could actually trust and use.

ROI WORX
Led product design for an AI-powered networking platform focused on helping students and entrepreneurs build more meaningful professional relationships. Instead of optimizing for more connections, the product was redesigned around better follow-through and engagement quality using matchmaking flows, behavioral insights, and structured networking experiences.

Designed an AI-powered customer support platform focused on helping support teams handle complex customer cases. Worked on everything from helpdesk workflows and escalation flows to AI-assisted decision support and no-code agent configuration. A big part of the work was translating messy operational processes into structured systems that support faster and more consistent decision-making.
