Ever since I was a kid, l've been fascinated by how software was made. On my Commodore 64, I taught myself to code the flying birds... and I was hooked.
That spark for creating carried into my career, where I quickly found Macromedia Flash as my next playground for experimenting, designing, and building interactive experiences.
Not long after, I founded my own design and development agency in California. What began as just me grew into a team of eight before merging with another agency.
That experience taught me how to balance creativity with business needs, build teams, and deliver at scale- lessons that continue to shape how I lead design today.
Outside of work
When I’m not sketching wireframes or refining prototypes, you’ll probably find me outside, somewhere far from a screen. I spend my free time camping, kayaking, or chasing powder on a snowboard. There’s something about being surrounded by nature that resets the mind and balances out the digital grind.
And sometimes, “outside” means way outside; about 4,500 feet up. Flying has become one of my biggest passions. There’s nothing quite like pulling back on the yoke and feeling the ground drop away.
I’m also a lifelong tinkerer. I like rebuilding, restoring, and reimagining old things into something new. A fresh coat of paint or a well-fitted part can be surprisingly meditative.
What I bring to the table
System-Level UX Leadership
-
I direct UX strategy for enterprise-grade platforms across fintech and ratings intelligence, establishing scalable component libraries, modular layouts, and interaction patterns.
-
I deliver cross-platform consistency through reusable systems and documentation: reducing build time and cutting UI bugs.
Research & Prototyping
-
I've introduced and scaled UX research practices, integrating user testing, surveys, and internal feedback loops to guide product direction.
-
I build high-fidelity interactive prototypes to simulate complex data workflows, enabling engineering teams and UXR to validate before build.
Data-Rich Product Design
-
Balance visual clarity with information density, supporting a range of users in high-speed decision environments.
-
Tackle technical limitations (e.g., massive data sets, legacy APIs) with creative design workarounds and performance-aware design solutions.
Cross-Team Collaboration
-
Worked across 5+ product teams, unifying design across multiple apps and branding themes while managing competing stakeholder priorities.
-
Partner closely with engineers and product leads to ensure designs translated cleanly into live builds = no handoff ambiguity.
