I design digital products that don't apologize.
I'm a product designer with a relentless passion for creating honest, direct digital experiences that respect the user's intelligence. No fluff, no dark patterns — just design that works.
With 8+ years in product design, I've partnered with scrappy startups and Fortune 500 companies alike, leading design for products used by millions of people worldwide. I've shipped everything from zero-to-one consumer apps to enterprise design systems.
I believe design should be bold and unapologetic. Every pixel is a decision. Every interaction is a statement. I'm here to make sure those statements are worth making.
Currently based in San Francisco. Open to full-time roles and select freelance projects.
