Over the past decade, I’ve designed products and systems across commerce, wearables, voice interfaces, mobile, web, and emerging technologies. Most recently, I spent six years at Shopify, designing tools that support millions of merchants and the businesses they’re building.

My path into design wasn’t particularly linear. Before design, I was a craftsperson and a consultant working in domains ranging from nuclear power to jet fuel. Eventually, I found my way to industrial and interaction design — a field that brought together the things I’d been circling all along: people, technology, business, systems, and making.

That background still shapes how I work. I’m drawn to products where design has to earn trust, where understanding the human context matters as much as getting the interface right, and where there’s room to question what the product should be in the first place.

I have a particular soft spot for NBDs — Never Been Dones — ambitious ideas, physical–digital experiences, and products that don’t already have an obvious playbook.
