7+ years designing complex, data-heavy, and AI-driven products — from early-stage 0→1 to enterprise scale. I go end-to-end: discovery, systems, execution, and production. I also build what I design.

7+ years designing complex, data-heavy, and AI-driven products — from early-stage 0→1 to enterprise scale. I go end-to-end: discovery, systems, execution, and production. I also build what I design.

End-to-end product design

Discovery through delivery — 0→1 through scale, solo and on teams.

Design systems & WCAG

Scalable, compliant component libraries that hold up under real volume.

Design to production

Figma → Framer, no dev handoff. Frontend roots mean I understand the build side.

How I work

How I work

“Less is more.” — Mies van der Rohe

“Less is more.” — Mies van der Rohe

The most effective designs don’t fill every space — they leave room for the user to breathe, focus, and understand. Restraint isn’t absence. It’s the difference between a product that overwhelms and one that sticks.

Best practices are starting points, not answers.

They’re built for the average case. Most products aren’t the average case. I use conventions as a baseline and check whether they actually fit before committing — because a pattern that works on a developer platform can quietly break on an operator one.

I design with the build in mind.

I know where designs break in development before engineering flags it. That changes how I spec, how I hand off, and what I push back on.

Architecture trained me before UX had a name for it.

Spatial reasoning, systems at scale, designing for how people move through space. The problems are different. The thinking transfers directly.

Senior UX Designer — Synthesys AI Voice Platform

Sole designer on an AI voice telecommunications platform — hired for a website, ended up owning the full product. Replaced an external design agency after a full product audit. Redesigned flows built around an internal service team to serve non-technical operators. Built a WCAG 2.1–compliant component library (35% efficiency gain, 20% faster time-to-market). Designed and shipped the marketing site in Framer, design to production, no dev handoff.

Pipeline for customers

Jan 2023 – May 2024 · Center for Digital Experiences, NY

UX Consultant

Worked with The Metropolitan Museum of Art on digital content strategy for non-visiting audiences — owned content channels and brand tone of voice synthesis for the final client deliverable. Contributed to the redesign of Wikipedia’s search experience: ran 8 moderated usability sessions, delivered structured recommendations and Figma prototypes. Wikimedia Foundation agreed with all identified problems.

Frontend Developer

Built responsive, WCAG-compliant interfaces for automotive clients from Figma and Sketch designs — ~95% design system compliance. This is where I learned how engineers actually work, which is why I design the way I do now.
