About Me

I am an independent product designer specializing in 0-to-1 product development, with a focus on emerging technologies and complex data environments. I work at the intersection of product and engineering to translate technical complexity into intuitive, engaging user experiences.

Known for my technical and domain fluency, I help teams move fast while maintaining a strong vision for product quality and user trust. My work emphasizes thoughtful interaction design and an early investment in product polish—ensuring software feels seamless rather than merely functional.

Core Competencies

  • Deep Product Thinking: Aligning user-centered outcomes with business goals and operational constraints

  • Technical Fluency: A "Full-Spectrum" designer who writes code (HTML/CSS/JS) and learns new environments (Unity/Clojure) to support engineering

  • Craft-Level Interaction: High-fidelity design that builds immediate user trust

  • Collaborative Leadership: Pushing teams toward better outcomes through shared vision and fast, focused execution

Bridging Vision and Implementation

I believe that great design is only as good as its execution. My career is defined by the ability to architect high-level product strategies while remaining deeply rooted in the technical craft of implementation. I specialize in bridging the gap between pioneering hardware and socially-driven software. A couple projects of note:

  • Architecting the Future of Connection: As the Principal UX Designer for the Amazon Glow, I led the end-to-end design of a first-of-its-kind "phygital" communication device. My work involved navigating complex hardware-software integration and Unity-based Mixed Reality development to turn remote video calls into shared physical experiences.

  • Engineering for Real-World Impact: For nonprofit Love146, I acted as both UX Lead and Front-End Developer. I translated a sensitive human trafficking prevention curriculum into a robust data portal. By writing the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and collaborating in a functional programming environment (Clojure/GitHub), I delivered a scalable tool that has served as the organization's data backbone for over a decade.
