[ About ]
I turn briefs into tested, shipped work.
I’m a product designer in Charlotte, NC, and I get genuinely excited when something I make actually helps someone.
I partner with PMs and engineers on conversion-focused experiences, build multi-brand design systems, and prototype in code so ideas reach testing and engineering faster.
Good design should feel obvious to the user and invisible to everyone else. If someone has to think too hard about how to use what I’ve built, I haven’t done my job.

Highly recommend sleeping near a waterfall.
[ Off the clock ]
Outside, mostly.
When I’m not designing, I’m probably making music, building something ambitious in code, or getting outside to clear my head. Fly fishing, fitness, camping, and meetups with other designers and developers keep me grounded. They’re also where a lot of my “what if we tried…” ideas start.
I work best on teams that care about what they’re building, where it’s okay to challenge ideas, including mine. The best products come from teams that can be real with each other.
