Hello and welcome
I'm a senior product design generalist with experience building for millions of users, in collaboration with amazing cross-functional partners. I create scalable solutions that unlock business value without compromising product quality and organizational integrity. Most recently I led design for Ediscovery search facilities at CS Disco, where my work helped drive tens of millions in revenue.

Collaborative partnership
Not a prompt and pixel pusher… a committed, strategic partner
Driving cross-functional collaboration
I love the collaborative nature of product development, working with people who think differently than me, toward a common goal. My success is my team's success.
Solving large-scale problems
Driving research, weighing tradeoffs, and feeding shared systems. That's where we'll find sustainable revenue.
Communciating complex design decisions
Relationship building with stakeholders and partners is central to my design process. I love sharing, shaping narrative, and creating alignment. Good design is well communicated design.
Tens of millions
of dollars in directly attributable revenue from products I've designed
Scalable solutions that unlock long-term business value
Spreading knowledge
I often think through writing, using documentation to build momentum and invest in my team's shared knowledge.
Key strengths in design
I bring a diverse design skill set to the product development table. You bring a team of smart collaborators and a mission worthy of everyone's time. Let's work together to build great things.
Experience and design methodology
Good design is responsible design. It focuses on the right questions to unlock long-term value, asking “whyˮ before “how.ˮ Itʼs efficient, but thoughtful—it knows that speed becomes value when informed by real understanding of the problem. Itʼs systems-oriented for scale, and it drives positive social impact.
Select case studies
I bring diverse domain exposure and insights, having helped shape progress in education, technology, entertainment, and law. I've worked on teams ranging from lean startups to large global enterprises. Shifting between industries has helped me develop a balanced, holistic sensitivity toward design.
Pair with critical thought
Be mindful of model biases and the pull toward averages. Teams that offload thought will magnify missteps, but mindful teams will win.
Quality in, quality out
Avoid the quality degradation spiral that comes with dependency.
Use with intention
Our competition is fast, too. Speed that translates to real value is shaped by user-centered understanding.
Delegate tasks, not craft
Remove redundant steps, flatten process, and execute established patterns. But lead with "why?"
Take the wheel
Drive AI with conviction, around observable human behavior.
AI design methodology
Speed only translates to value when shaped by strategy and user advocacy. AI is most powerful when executing against a vision, not creating one. Understanding the problem is more important than ever.
Quality is (once again) the great differentiator
Used poorly, AI can produce quality drift faster than teams can recognize it
Teams that lack taste and user understanding… will produce garbage at scale
But user-centered teams that use AI effectively… will win with quality at scale
Lasting gains require team expertise
Tooling doesn't replace product culture
Causes with my support
I help empower the people doing society's most impactful work. I'm privileged to redirect a slice of my income to these orgs whose work reflect my values. I share this because understanding my values will help you understand who I am as a person and colleague.
