TL;DR: I am a principle product designer based in Portland, Oregon. With over 25 years of experience, I have worked on a myriad of projects for a wide variety companies. I’ve designed for print, packaging, hardware, automotive, data visualization, and mobile apps.

Everything else:

I’m a Portland-raised designer who fell for graphic design in college—literally by choosing a 9am design class over an 8am architecture elective. I taught myself Illustrator, Photoshop, and Flash cover to cover, and built my first portfolio site by hand.

My career took me from designing the Intel Web Tablet (an early iPad predecessor) to agency work with clients like Freightliner and Qualcomm, then into data visualization at McAfee, Webtrends, and Postano (now Sprinklr)—building analytics dashboards for brands like State Farm, Adidas, and Nike. Along the way I’ve always found inventive ways to get inside the technology, a habit that’s proven essential in my recent work with AI.

After a stint leading UX for Nike’s visual assortment planning tool, I joined Amazon as a product designer in its logistics group, working on Locker, Locker+, and Returns. If you’ve ever returned an Amazon order at Whole Foods without a box or label, you’ve used my favorite project—I led service design for Amazon’s Global Returns program. I also designed the driver experience for Amazon’s Rivian electric delivery vans.

From Amazon, I moved into health and wellness at Hinge Health, where I defined the design vision for Enso—an FDA-regulated wearable pain-relief device. Most recently, as Head of Design at ChartHop, I led the design system and AI-assisted workflows for their HR platform, building teams and cross-functional partnerships along the way.

Across 20+ years, I’ve shaped products spanning enterprise software, healthcare, retail, and connected devices—always with an eye for how people actually use the technology in front of them.
