Good Design is like Good Art.
Precise & Explorative

Currently looking for a full-time UX role in Los Angeles — product teams that still argue about edge cases, copy, and what happens after the happy path.

How I work

Research that actually changes the screen. Prototypes before polish. Systems that survive not just today but 10 years down the road.

Skills & interests

What I reach for at work
& what I actually do with a Sunday.

On the job

  • Human-centered design, from start to finish — from early requirements through validating the code that actually ship.
  • Turning interviews, surveys, and analytics into a handful of decisions a team can actually act on.
  • Structuring content & navigation so users find what they need without a second guess.
  • The small mechanics of a screen — states, transitions, and feedback that make an interface feel considered.
  • Reusable components and patterns that keep a product consistent as more designers improve it.
  • Designing for contrast, focus order, and assistive tech from the start, not as a fix at the end.
  • Running active working sessions that get a room of stakeholders to a real decision, not just a longer list of opinions.
  • Wireframes, high-fidelity comps, and interactive prototypes built to be tested, not just admired.
  • Mapping the full journey, so a redesign doesn't break something that already works well.
  • Writing UI copy alongside the layout, so the words and the screen are designed in harmony.
  • Creating detailed diagrams that actually connect with the way a user interacts with any application.

End to End UX

Human-centered design, from start to finish — from early requirements through validating the code that actually ship.
