Staff Product Designer · AI products and design systems · Remote, US
Most products are built around the wrong thing.
I design AI products and the design systems under them for complex B2B SaaS, and I ship them in production code. Ten years, Senior UX through Director. Seven design systems, one in every role.
Previously
A Lead was never an entity. It was a job that hadn’t started yet.
Note: a lead is the same record as the job, at its first milestone. Nothing is converted when it advances.

Approach
Research first, then a working prototype.
I start with the people doing the work, then the flows and the information architecture, written into the repo. Then I get to a working prototype quickly and refine it, often in production code. I use Figma when a team or a design system needs it, and I test with users before and after things ship.

Senior UX through Director, across complex B2B SaaS. In every role I’ve done the research, information architecture and systems design. Now: lead designer and principal developer of a contractor CRM that went live with the client’s team in November. Before that, Lead UX at Carlyle on a confidential AI investment platform for analysts and senior executives, where I got them out of Excel and into the platform. I also work on agent UX, conversational interfaces, and the design systems that make complex platforms legible. I test with users and write production code, alongside engineers or on my own when the team is just me. North Smithfield, RI. Remote, US. Open to Staff Product Designer roles.
Off the clock: lives in North Smithfield, RI with his wife and two kids. Coaches his son's basketball team. Plays Magic: The Gathering, reads Marvel Comics, still draws by hand.
