With a decade of experience as a designer who codes, I specialize in de-risking products, aligning teams, and moving fluidly between clarifying product direction, crafting UI, and shipping frontend code. As a principal designer, I lead by example and stay close to the work across the full product lifecycle, from discovery and research to iteration and building. I’ve mentored designers and led design teams, while staying focused on solving UX problems and advocating for all users. I'm focused on: ⋅ Bridging product, design, and engineering teams ⋅ Validating assumptions through design sprints and user testing ⋅ Scaling design systems ⋅ Innovating in highly complex, greenfield, and regulated industries ⋅ Treating accessibility as a standard, not a feature ⋅ Using AI responsibly to improve velocity without sacrificing quality As a design consultant, I've honed my craft through working with dozens of great teams at companies of all sizes including: the Harvard Business Review, Fanatics, the University of Iowa, Seegrid, Frontrow Health, HopSkipDrive, the National Kidney Foundation, and Tommy John. I do my best work in complex, ambiguous problem spaces where clarity and craft both matter.
