Senior product & interaction designer, enterprise systems
I design and improve complex enterprise systems that already have users and can’t afford disruption.
Most of my work involves modernizing existing systems; clarifying workflows and interfaces so change can happen without breaking what already works.
What I do
-
Simplify complex, multi-system workflows so they are easier to understand and use
-
Translate ambiguous requirements into clear, executable interaction models
-
Prototype and iterate early to make solutions concrete and ready to build
My approach
I don’t introduce new process or redesign systems for its own sake. I focus on improving clarity inside complex systems while working within platform limits and release schedules.
In practice, that means getting close to the problem, making tradeoffs explicit and leaving the system clearer than I found it.
Selected projects
Alerts mobile redesign
Modernizing a fragmented, multi-channel alerts system across mobile and email.

Exploratory prototypes
These concepts extend my enterprise systems work into newer contexts where people need to guide, review and control automated behavior.
