SENIOR PRODUCT DESIGNER · B2B SAAS

Product design.
Working code.

I bring 19 years in B2B SaaS to product design, working from interface decisions through prototypes and front-end implementation.

Selected work

Curiosity leads.
Craft follows.

A designer who thinks in systems. A developer who cares about the details.

My work spans apps, websites, platforms, and visual identities. I’m interested in how the pieces fit together — and the details that make an experience feel right.
