About Me

I’m a product designer with 12+ years of experience turning complex systems into simple, thoughtful tools - especially in the world of enterprise SaaS, data platforms, and AI-powered workflows. I’ve worked with teams at Walmart, R/GA, myCaribou, and agencies, building everything from scalable design systems to AI-integrated features that actually make users’ lives easier.

Outside of design, I’m usually chasing after the latest AI tools, learning how to be a dad (brand new to that one), or reminiscing about the 3 years I spent living and working out of a campervan. I also started a dog rescue in Mexico along the way. These days, I work remotely from wherever life takes us, blending tech, travel, and parenthood into one ongoing adventure.

My Approach

My design philosophy is built on four key principles that guide every project I undertake.

User-Centered Thinking

I start with deep user research to understand needs, pain points, and contexts. This foundation ensures solutions that truly resonate with the people using them, creating experiences that feel intuitive and valuable.

AI Integration

I specialize in designing AI-powered experiences that augment human capabilities rather than replace them. This means creating interfaces that make complex AI functions accessible, transparent, and trustworthy.

Collaborative Design

Great products emerge from cross-functional collaboration. I facilitate workshops and design sprints that bring together diverse perspectives, ensuring alignment and creating solutions that address business and user needs.

Scalable Systems

I build design systems that scale, creating consistent experiences across products while enabling teams to work efficiently. This systematic approach ensures quality and coherence as products evolve.
