Product Designer — Chicago, IL
I'm fascinated by how thoughtful design connects human behavior, business goals, and technology.
I enjoy helping teams simplify complexity and create products that make difficult tasks feel intuitive.
Outside of work, I'm spending time with my wife and two kids, exploring architecture and home design, volunteering at my children's school, or experimenting with new AI tools. I've always been curious about how things are built — whether it's a product, a system, or a home.
I believe great design starts with understanding people. By partnering closely with stakeholders, researchers, and engineers, I help teams turn complex challenges into intuitive experiences. Over the past decade, I've led design initiatives across aviation, finance, and enterprise software, using research, collaboration, and iteration to drive better outcomes.
Most design failures aren't failures of taste — they're failures of process. A beautiful screen built on a poorly understood problem, or a well-researched solution implemented without a scalable system underneath it, will both disappoint eventually.
I approach design the way an engineer approaches architecture: understand the constraints, design for the full lifecycle, and build foundations that let the thing evolve without falling apart.
Screens and components are means, not ends. Every engagement starts by defining what success looks like in measurable terms — and ends by validating that we got there.
The most expensive design mistake is building the wrong thing confidently. I spend more time in discovery than most designers — because the time invested upfront pays back tenfold in reduced rework.
Whether I'm designing a component or a platform, I'm thinking about how it fits into a larger system — of interfaces, of user mental models, of organisational processes. Good design scales because it's coherent, not just consistent.
The most impactful design decisions are often subtractive. Making something feel simple to use is harder than making it feature-complete — and almost always more valuable to the person using it.
