I design platforms that help teams catch problems earlier, make confident decisions, and move faster when the stakes are high. My work sits inside complex enterprise environments where fragmented workflows, unclear signals, and operational lag create real business cost.
Leading the design system for internal investment tools, and the design-to-code workflow that ships it.
Led DealDesk, turning contract management into an early-warning system for at-risk deals, and built a shared pattern library.
Founding designer on Tarmac, Roku Ads' first campaign management system, and redesigned its audience data platform.
Redesigned account transfers and mobile check deposit for wealth management customers, across product, engineering, and compliance.
So teams can spot risk earlier, move faster, and act with confidence. Here's how I work.
I align on what's at risk, what “success” means, and which constraints are real.
I map the key decisions users need to make, and the signals they're missing today.
I bring people into the same mental model through workflows and principles, so we're solving the same problem.
I make a small number of high-conviction bets, measure the deltas, and iterate until the system is resilient.
That's how I turn fragmented workflows into systems that surface what matters and enable action before problems compound.
Teaching forces me to articulate first principles clearly. It's made me a stronger designer and partner, especially in guiding people and helping them grow.
I taught UX design as an adjunct instructor at BrainStation, and I mentor designers on ADPList, where I'm in the Top 1% of Super Mentors.
I use AI tools where they save real time, and keep the decisions with people. Two places that shows up in my recent work.
At Carlyle, Figma stays the source of design intent, and a Claude Code skill reads the specs. Engineers move faster without losing the rules, and a typical component went from 2–3 days to about one.
Unified design system In my productAt The Trade Desk, I designed AI-assisted health scoring for DealDesk with human oversight: signals sellers can understand, override, and act on, so at-risk deals surface in 1–2 days instead of weeks.
DealDeskEvery project moves through the same four steps. Tools like Claude and Figma handle the legwork inside each one; I set the direction and make the call at every handoff.
