My Design Philosophy

I'm drawn to products where the underlying system is complicated and the interface shouldn't be. Most of my work is deciding which complexity belongs to the user and which belongs to the software.

Design Philosophy

How I approach the work

01

Data-Driven

I bring analytics in early, especially when a decision affects conversion, adoption, or revenue.

02

AI in the Workflow

I use AI to move faster through the parts of the process that don't need to be slow: research synthesis, pressure-testing concepts, early prototyping.

03

Strategy-Backed

Design that doesn't connect to business outcomes doesn't last. I work with PMs and leadership early to make sure we're solving the right problem before designing the solution.

Redesigning Vagaro's signup process to increase conversions by 18%

Vagaro's signup flow hadn't been updated in 8 years. It was losing 30% of users before they reached payment. I redesigned it mobile-first and grew app signups 69% year over year.
