Product designer and leader

I lead design for people whose work happens away from a desk.

For six years I led UX for Comcast's construction finance platform, which now serves more than 115,000 people, and built the design system behind it. Before that, I founded and ran a software studio. I work where product, design, and engineering meet, finding the order hidden in messy, high-stakes work.

Order out of chaos

Spreadsheets on the side, tools nobody trusted, repairs that took days. Each of these started as a mess and ended as something people could rely on.

Method

How I work

Start where the work happens
I observe people doing the work before designing anything. When direct access isn't possible, I learn from the people closest to it: managers, developers, and the spreadsheets teams keep on the side.
Measure before and after
I track click depth, task time, error rates, and satisfaction, so each change can be judged on evidence.
Work closely with developers
Running a software studio taught me to collaborate with engineers in their terms, and to build habits that keep what ships true to what was agreed.
Grow the people around the work
I mentor designers, coach developers and QA on design standards, and bring skeptical stakeholders in early, so good decisions outlast my involvement.
