A few problems I've loved solving.

MyDay Assistant

I set the experience strategy for an AI assistant used across store operations, defining the answer model, the trust and escalation patterns, and the component system that engineering builds against. I lead the design workstream and mentor the designers delivering it.

Corp Table, modernizing product hierarchy operations

Corp Table holds the product-hierarchy reference data that merchandising, finance and warehouse operations depend on. I led the modernization: auditing the legacy transactions with business owners, mapping every rule into a governed information architecture, and directing the design of a permission-aware web experience that protects the speed expert users had already earned.

System architecture

Yes, I builddesign systems.

Here is a complete, production-ready design system I built from the ground up. It is completely free to download, inspect, and use. If you need help understanding token architecture, scaling your own system, or customizing these components to perfectly match your brand's colors, let's talk.

About

Designer.Builder.Curious human.

I lead design in domains where the complexity is real: operational systems, healthcare and applied AI. My job is to make the system absorb that complexity instead of passing it to the person using it.

I partner closely with engineering and product leadership, set the design direction and the systems behind it, mentor the designers delivering it, and hold the team to what the product does on the day things do not go to plan.
