About Me

I’m a UX and product designer with over a decade of experience in the B2B SaaS space. I’m a systems thinker at heart: I value clarity, consistency, and scalability, and I see design as both creative and utilitarian. I’ve led product launches, modernized legacy platforms, and built design systems that align product, engineering, and design so teams can move faster with less friction.

Outside of work, I’m a lifelong fan of movies, gaming, and Detroit sports—especially the Tigers—so patience and a commitment to long‑term rebuilds come naturally.
