I turn disorder into something people can actually use.

Over the past decade I've designed products in enterprise software, Series A startups, and design agencies. The throughline has always been the same: find the real problem underneath the one we're all arguing about, and build something we can all get behind.

I spent four years in DesignOps at Cisco designing systems and processes for distributed teams. That gave me a perspective most IC designers don't develop, I see how design decisions ripple across teams, tooling, and the broader org. Honestly, that's the part I like most. Complex problems are puzzles to me. The messier they look at the start, the better it feels when things click into place.

I'm a Marine Corps Reserve veteran. That experience is where my patience and attention to detail come from. It's also where I learned that a team with shared outcomes always beats a room full of people protecting their lanes. I've carried that into every cross-functional environment I've worked in since: no black-box design, no throwing work over the fence, no ego about who gets credit. I just want the solution to be right. That's it.

When I'm not designing, I'm playing bass, losing at chess, or doing something I'll blame on curiosity later. I'm based in Greater Philadelphia.
