About me

I create consumer products that make complicated things feel clear, useful, and thoughtfully made.

Over the past 13 years, I’ve worked across product strategy, UX, interaction design, art direction and visual design. My work for companies including Apple, Credit Karma, and TurboTax has reached hundreds of millions of people.

I’m most at home between defining the big idea and bringing it to life: making sense of ambiguity, building and testing prototypes, aligning teams around a direction, and staying close to the details through launch.

Strong product design requires both range and depth: understanding the business, advocating for the customer, telling a compelling story, and caring about the details that determine whether a product actually feels good to use.

When I’m not designing digital products, I’m usually exploring restaurants and coffee shops around Los Angeles, planning my next trip, or occasionally pretending I’m an interior designer.
