About

Design thatsurvives contactwith code.

Product Designer with 15+ years designing scalable SaaS and web experiences across enterprise and consumer platforms. Expert at translating complex systems into intuitive, high-impact interfaces that drive usability, engagement, and operational efficiency.

Proven end-to-end ownership: discovery through high-fidelity UI and front-end implementation. Strong collaborator with PMs and engineers. Recently focused on AI-assisted design workflows — leveraging generative tools for rapid prototyping, UX writing, and iterative exploration.

My path runs from building client websites line by line, to leading design for 150+ sites at a media company, to e-commerce search at PriceGrabber, a sports SaaS platform at SportsEngine, and enterprise support portals on Oracle Service Cloud at Helix. That mix is the point: I design with a working knowledge of how things get built.

    ChatGPT and Claude in the loop for ideation, UX writing and rapid prototyping — plus UX patterns for AI interfaces themselves.
