ABOUT ME

A genuine obsession with the moment when a complicated system suddenly feels effortless to use

I turn complex technology into experiences people actually enjoy using. Across IoT-connected lighting, augmented reality, enterprise SaaS, and iGaming, my focus has always been the same: the moment a complicated system suddenly feels effortless.

​

I led UX across a full suite of mobile-first commercial software, iOS, Android, responsive web, and desktop, and founded an enterprise-wide design system in Figma adopted across the entire product suite. I've taken products from zero to production, contributed 3 issued patents with 1 pending, and partnered closely with product and engineering in Agile environments to ship cohesive, accessible outcomes.

​

I'm a strong communicator, a systems thinker, and the kind of designer who walks out of a 30-minute meeting with a working prototype and a clear direction.

SELECTED WORK

Featured Projects
