SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER

I like problems that look simple on the surface

I came to design through an unlikely path, a warehouse job where I started redesigning systems nobody asked me to fix, a detour through learning to code, and eventually realizing the part I actually enjoyed was figuring out how things should work, not just how they should look. That background still shapes how I design. I think about constraints early, I get genuinely interested in complexity, and I try to leave things easier to handoff than I found them.

FEATURED WORK

Projects I'm proud of

CASE STUDY

01

Designing a Client Self-Service Platform for complex Administrative Workflows

A multi-year B2B platform that gave enterprise HR clients direct control over their own systems. I designed roughly 10 or 40 tools that make up the platform with a focus on making rules-based configuration approachable for non-expert users.

CASE STUDY

02

Entity Maintenance

A deep dive into one tool from a larger self-service platform. Covering the specific design decisions that shaped the tool, including one I was genuinely proud of that did not make it to production, and on that came from going further than the brief required.

CASE STUDY

03

The Netflix carousel, a benefits platform, and what happens when you look closely at both

Work I did to extend the company design system, including two components I designed, documented, and got adopted across product surfaces beyond the team I was on.

There’s a version of design that’s mostly about making things look polished. That’s not really what interests me. The problems I keep coming back to are the ones where a simple looking interaction has a lot going on underneath. Where the real work is figuring out how to give someone confidence to do something complicated on their own.
