I’m a San Francisco based designer, with over 15 years of experience building products people love to use.

I care deeply about the human side of technology and strive to build software that is useful, simple and fair.

My design practice is built around these values:

  • To create products that are useful, help humans flourish, and augment their capabilities.

  • To design experiences that are simple, purposeful, and bold.

  • To build technology that is unbiased, transparent, and humane.

Currently

Building ResolveAI from the ground up

I’m the founding product designer of ResolveAI, a multi-agent system that connects code, services, infrastructure, and telemetry. As an early hire, I have contributed to most foundational elements of our product functionality, including agent reasoning display, chat, citations, and slash commands. I’m currently leading the re-design of our main investigation surface.

Before

Nearly a decade building Slack

During my tenure, I built and evolved numerous key aspects of the Slack core functionality including the home sidebar, activity (notifications), canvas (text editor), files and attachments, bookmarking, interoperability (GDrive integration, email in Slack), workspace creation, onboarding, and in-product education.

Earlier

I honed my craft in design studios & school

After college, I cut my teeth at design studios in Los Angeles, designing identity, print, and websites for clients including Goodwill, Disney XD and The Four Seasons Resort. After grad school, I expanded my focus to product design, followed by a few years consulting for clients including Google, Hewlett-Packard, and Kaiser Permanente.

I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from Cal Poly Pomona, and an MFA in Product Design from Stanford University.
