Digital Product Designer
for the Agentic Era

About

Born for such a time as this

My M.O. has always been to master as much of the product stack as possible. Starting my career as a UI Designer, I figured out coding my own designs was the best way to ship great work. That realization led me on a decade-long tour as an Engineer, Creative Technologist, and Technical Lead where I built apps and sites for some of the largest brands in the world.

I've since returned to the design world, most recently leading Product Design at Figment, the world's largest proof-of-stake crypto infrastructure company. Over the better part of 4 years, I grew a self-serve staking product from zero to over $500,000,000 of Ethereum staked as the sole designer for a decentralized app experience. All while serving Figment's institutional customers and their ~$18,000,000,000 worth of crypto staked to Figment's network of validators.

My unique tenure has positioned me perfectly to take advantage of the LLM boom. I'm not vibe-coding/designing/researching. I'm orchestrating agents to build complex systems in a fraction of the time it used to take.
