UX Design Portfolio

All about people, growth, fun and beauty.

Senior product designer at Holistics, shaping interfaces for data analysts and the curious.

I’m a product designer who treats the canvas like a workshop — messy first, then carved down until the shape feels obvious.

Currently shaping interfaces for data analysts at Holistics. Previously: SCAD UX, Amazon Rufus AI, Oshkosh, BMW. I sketch in Figma, build in Next.js, and believe a portfolio should feel like the work, not the résumé.

Blood, sweat, and tears were sacrificed

How I work

A short user manual

  1. Start with the question

    I sketch the problem in words before the screen. If the brief can't fit on a napkin, the design won't fit either.

  2. Ship small, often

    Tiny, ugly versions in front of real users beat polished ones in front of a stakeholder. I keep the loop short.

  3. Beautiful means inevitable

    Craft is the work of removing the parts that don't belong, until the remaining shape feels obvious.
