I design the part of products that users depend on most.
The part they only notice when it breaks.

How I work
I find the real problem
The friction usually isn't in the UI — it's in the logic, the data model, or the operational flow underneath. I work at that layer.
I design past the screen
Systems, flows, and coordination that hold up against real technical and organizational constraints, instead of pretending they aren't there.
I prove it with real users
I test with the people who actually use the thing, and move numbers I can show.

What I do
