Product designer sitting at the intersection of UX, AI, and Strategy.
I've worked in product design for 12 years, with my latest bout being in the high-stakes, highly regulated healthcare industry.
I've worked as the founding designer and as a member of much larger, integrated teams encompassing business, product, operations, and engineering.
How I work
I ask questions, and I really listen.
My methods vary, but the work is to essentially understand the what, why, when, where, and for whom.
Most people see design as how something looks and how it feels to use. While true, design has always extended way beyond the visible layer.
what design means to me
Design is a manifestation of intent.
Everything made — objects, systems, spaces, interactions — reflects what someone was trying to do, whether they were conscious of it or not. Intent isn't always clear even to the person holding it. It can be incomplete, contradictory, or only half-formed.
In any context, design asks: what is this actually for? That question is harder to answer than it looks, and everything downstream depends on how honestly you engage with it.
When I'm not working
Tennis 🎾
You can usually find me playing tennis or geeking out about tennis pros and tennis gear.
What I'm playing with
Yonex EZone 100+ 2022, with a leather grip and 12g added to the handle, strung with Hyper-G at 48lbs.
Amateur photography 📸
Looking back at the pictures I've taken transports me back to where I took them. It brings back memories of the walk it took to get there, the food I had, and the other sights that I should have clicked a picture of but didn't.
