ABOUT ME

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

I'm an Experience Design Leader with deep expertise in human-centered design, spanning mobile (iOS & Android), responsive web, and complex enterprise platforms. I founded and scaled the CLS Design System at Cooper Lighting Solutions (Signify), a Figma-based system adopted across all product teams.

 

My career has spanned IoT-connected lighting systems, augmented reality tools, enterprise SaaS, and iGaming, and what connects it all is a genuine obsession with the moment when a complicated system suddenly feels effortless to use.

 

In fast-paced environments, it's not unusual for me to jump into a 30-minute meeting and walk out with a rapid prototype and clear direction, the kind of in-the-room momentum that keeps multi-team systems moving forward. Contributor of 3 issued patents, with 1 additional pending.
