About
I spent 16 years at a small B2B SaaS company that served financial firms under FINRA, SEC, and HIPAA regulation. Started in support, moved into client implementation, and ended up running product design. Self-taught the whole way. Everything in the case studies shipped to real enterprise clients across real compliance environments.
The work was designing software people are required to use. Learning platforms, compliance tools, admin dashboards. The "can't close the tab" constraint is a good one. It keeps you honest about whether the interface actually works, because your users will tell you when it doesn't.
My background covers design and front-end implementation. I go from Figma to CSS without losing anything in translation, which means one less person in the chain and fewer things falling through gaps. I've also shipped features by building them myself when the process wasn't moving. The case studies show where.
I'm currently building Advance, a production document platform for live touring crews. I play in a band, I know the people who do this work, and when one of them complained about spreadsheets I started building. It's in private beta with real users. I'm based in southern New Hampshire. I'm looking for a product design role where the problems are real and someone needs a designer who can go all the way to the browser.
