I design AI products, and I build them.
I’m a product designer who thrives at small, fast startups, wearing many hats and owning the product from a vague idea to shipped software. Each company has meant a new, deeply technical niche to learn: cyber insurance, freight, logistics, recruiting, and now residential construction. What stays constant is taking something complex and making it feel obvious, and increasingly building it myself.
Over a decade of startups that worked out.
First designer at four of them: Bizzen, Parade, Corvus, and SmashFly, joining as early as employee #5 and building the product and the design function from scratch.
