I'm a senior product designer who makes complex systems intuitive. I work across UX design, service design, and research to produce visually refined user experiences. And I can code the front end — which lets me bridge design and engineering, ensuring what gets built matches what was designed.
That range comes from an eclectic path across many sectors — consumer brands, healthcare, high-traffic e-commerce, and the last stretch in federal work. Le Creuset, Northern Tool, American Savings Bank, the Department of Veterans Affairs. Different industries, same job — making complex things clear and trustworthy for the people who use them, in products that hold up.
On a project at the VA, that meant a Figma component system and an AI-assisted research pipeline that turned 51 contact centers from a slog into a repeatable production line. I'm fluent on both sides of the design-and-code line — sometimes I design the system, sometimes I build the front end that ships it, and on the right project I do both. Either way, knowing the other half makes the handoff short.
I care about the team's connection as much as the work. On a Le Creuset deadline once, we were camped in the office with a full test kitchen. I come in early, so I made scrambled eggs and bacon for everyone before the day started. Good work and good company aren't separate things.
I'm looking for senior product design work where craft and collaboration both matter.
Imagine a workplace in which hard work and joy, in equal measure, are recognized as essential to creating excellence."
