What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a product team where I can design and ship accessible UI end-to-end, partner closely with PMs and engineering, and build scalable design systems—validating ideas fast and turning them into real, maintainable components.

I’m a product/visual designer and UI developer with 10 years’ experience shipping web and native mobile products. I move quickly from idea to validated interface (either in Figma or code), so teams can learn fast and build the right thing.

I’ve led work from concept to code as a Senior Product Designer at CompanyCam, partnering with PMs and engineering leadership to shape product strategy and deliver features across iOS, Android, and web. The impact I helped drive includes revenue growth from ~$10 million in 2020 to ~$70 million and a $2 billion valuation by 2025.

On the systems side, I’m a strong systems thinker and web accessibility expert with five years on a design systems team. I founded and led the team responsible for the Slab Component Library (Figma/React-Typescript), and I’ve been a core contributor to Instructure UI, the design system powering Canvas LMS for millions of learners every day.

I bring an engineer’s discipline to accessibility and scalability, translating Figma into reusable React components and supporting adoption of WCAG/508 best practices with embedded teams. I also write clear UX copy and docs, helping product decisions land as consistent, accessible experiences.
