About
The most interesting design problems live at the infrastructure layer.
When the user is an expert and the systems are genuinely complex, clarity isn't just good design. It's the product. Thirteen years at that seam: developer tools, AI platforms, cloud infrastructure, and the interfaces engineers trust to work.
When I'm not at the keyboard, I'm building furniture or cooking something that takes longer than it should. Both teach the same lesson: knowing when something is done.

Experience
Aug 2025 – Present
Designing mission control for developers and their AI agents: agent-native experiences that make multi-agent workflows intuitive and environments instantly ready.
Jul 2024 – May 2025
Built the design org from zero. Defined the vision for serverless Postgres as a design-led product and cut the concept-to-prototype cycle by 40% by bringing AI tools into the team workflow.
Feb 2024 – Jul 2024
Architected the PLG motion for Kong Konnect: self-serve onboarding, serverless gateway UX, and developer education that reduced time-to-value.
Jan 2022 – Jan 2024
Built the first Growth Design org. High-velocity experimentation framework that directly supported the path to $100M ARR.
Convictions
Systems over Simplicity
The goal isn't to "simplify", it's to make dense systems legible to the experts who depend on them. Engineers don't want their tools dumbed down; they want an interface that respects their mental model. I focus on building the navigational infrastructure that turns cognitive load into creative momentum.
Design is a leadership problem
High-leverage design isn't just about the artifact; it's about the infrastructure of the org. I build the decision frameworks, feedback loops, and research cultures that allow teams to ship with predictable quality. When the system is healthy, the craft scales naturally.
Ship fast, learn fast
In complex infrastructure, speed without direction is just technical debt. I prioritize signal quality over raw velocity. A fast experiment that validates a core architectural assumption is worth more than a dozen polished features that don't move the needle.
