About me
I design products at the intersection of clarity and craft — from 0→1 features to full-scale design systems. Over my design career, I've turned ambiguous problems into interfaces people actually want to use, across B2B SaaS, enterprise software, data-heavy workflows, and agency work.
Right now I’m focused on remote access and security tooling at Dispel, where I lead end-to-end design for products that protect critical infrastructure. Outside of work, I think a lot about how AI is reshaping the way designers work — and I try to stay close to the tools that are changing the craft. You'll also find me designing the occasional book cover, baseball monogram, logo, or whiskey label.
Actions
Current tools
The tools I often reach for these days. Some are for thinking, some are for shipping, and a few are for staying out of my own way. This list shifts as the craft does — what’s here today earned its place by being faster, sharper, or more honest than what came before.
