Background

Designing systems that enable others to build

I am a product designer who thinks in systems. Over 15 years, I have moved from execution-focused product work to platform-level thinking, designing not just products, but the frameworks and tools that help teams ship better work faster.

My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on craft. I believe the best design work happens when you deeply understand both the business context and the technical constraints. I am equally comfortable whiteboarding product strategy with executives and working closely with engineers on implementation detail.

Currently, I am exploring the intersection of AI and human decision-making, designing experiences that augment human capabilities while maintaining appropriate levels of human agency and oversight.
