About

I'm a product designer who codes CSS. That means the design actually survives the journey from Figma to the browser, instead of getting diluted or reinterpreted by someone translating between disciplines.

Professional Background

I spent 16 years working at a small B2B SaaS company serving enterprise financial firms under strict compliance regulations. I grew organically within the organization: starting in support, transitioning into client implementation, and ultimately running product design.

People were required to use this software, so if it's even remotely unclear, you learn really fast. It forces you to build interfaces that are clear, and understood by anyone, not just the people who designed them.

Because I am entirely self-taught, my design approach is anchored in real-world deployment rather than abstract theory. Every feature and system in my case studies was shipped directly to enterprise users operating in high-compliance, real-world environments.

The AI Shift

Lately I've been leaning heavily into AI-augmented development to see what all the fuss is about. So far, I've found that it dramatically shortens the distance between a validated user problem and a functioning software solution.

My latest project, Advance, is a proof of that: a synchronized data workspace for touring music crews that I planned and designed, then coded solo using Cursor and Claude. "Pretty neat", as the kids say (I have no idea what kids say).

I'm based in southern New Hampshire and am currently looking for a product design role I can put all this experience to good use.
