I enjoy working on complex products where the obvious problem isn't always the real one. A brief to consolidate three infrastructure tools turned out to be a personalization challenge. A data quality initiative became a trust problem. Those moments tend to change the direction of the whole project. I've found that getting the reframe right is often the highest-leverage contribution a designer can make.
Most recently at Meta, I designed infrastructure efficiency tooling used by engineering and infrastructure organizations at company scale. Before that, I was the founding designer at BillionToOne, helping launch new genetic diagnostics products from 0 to 1. Earlier in my career, I worked at Jane Technologies, Yahoo, and Sapient across e-commerce, consumer platforms, healthcare, and enterprise software.
Over time I've become more involved in shaping product direction, while still enjoying the work of turning ideas into products people actually use.
What I'm drawn to
Problems where the brief is incomplete
The projects I enjoy most usually begin with a question mark. Sometimes the stated problem is real. Sometimes it's a symptom of something deeper. I like figuring out which is which before the team commits to a solution.
Systems with competing needs
I'm drawn to products that serve multiple audiences with different goals and constraints. Infrastructure tooling, platform products, and workflow-heavy systems are especially interesting because success depends on balancing competing priorities without making the experience feel complicated.
AI that earns its place
I'm interested in AI when it helps people complete work they were already trying to do. The most useful AI experiences I've worked on don't create new destinations or new behaviors — they remove friction from existing workflows and help users make progress faster.
