Work With Me

I'm a product designer and entrepreneur with 10 years leading design from concept to launch. I recently left my last startup and I'm taking on select projects.

What I Bring

• High level of agency – I'm a self-starter who knows how to move forward without constant oversight
• User research and the ability to synthesize that into practical product insights
• Attention to detail, while moving fast
• Experience in agentic user experiences

Recent Work

• Echo: Cofounder & Head of Design – Led design for AI-assisted writing platform from zero to launch
• Afterpattern: Cofounder & Head of Design – Designed no-code legal automation tools (acquired 2021)

How I Work

I thrive in ambiguous, early-stage environments where design needs to drive both product strategy and user delight. I bring:

• User research and synthesis to uncover real needs
• Rapid prototyping to validate concepts before engineering investment
• High-fidelity designs and prototypes for web and mobile
• Systems thinking to ensure scalable, consistent experiences
• Strong written and verbal communication to align teams
