A founding designer and principal IC with 15+ years across startups, scale-ups, and big tech. The tools emerging right now are changing what's possible, blurring the lines between functions. Designers who can translate user needs directly into working prototypes have never been more valuable. That's been my focus for the last several years.
Work history
Principal Product Designer
On the Frontier Prototyping team, hired to prototype the future of Atlassian's products. I've been driving concept design and vision for AI Studio and the next generation of Jira, pioneering approaches to design made possible by AI. Built an internal prototyping platform now widely used across the company.
Principal Product Designer
As the most senior IC designer I played a unique role, spearheading key company initiatives that required strategy and high-craft execution. Delivered two major product integrations: an A/B testing experience and a professional-grade visual animation timeline.
Staff Product Designer
Led design for a suite of internal tools built for autonomous vehicle engineers. Complex, data-heavy developer tooling for a deeply technical team. The division was sold to Toyota and I departed shortly after.
Founding Designer
Joined pre-product at seed stage as the sole designer and built the product from the ground up. UX, brand, research, the works. Guided the transformation from initial concept into a professional data platform used by urban planners across the US. Helped grow the team from 6 to 30 and secure Series A funding.
Design Lead
Steered product vision and strategy for the Vacation Rentals and Host Tools teams. Provided creative direction and mentorship while overseeing a ground-up overhaul of Airbnb's native Android and iOS apps for hosts.
Product Designer
Key initiatives at Google Maps including offline maps, location sharing, and search. Earlier led design at YouTube on a multi-year account migration.
