Me

I'm a New York-based software builder. Typically I play the role of a product designer, but over the past ten years I've done -

  • Design, product, and engineering
  • IC and management
  • Consumer and B2B
  • Startups and big tech

Ultimately, I just love learning and building tech that helps people. I do so with curiosity, creativity, compassion, and analytical skills.

Principles

  1. What ships matters more than perfect design artifacts.
  2. Words matter, for thinking, communication, and product. Be precise.
  3. Making abstract ideas tangible drives projects forward. Share drafts as quickly as possible to give people something to react to.
  4. User experience is product, brand, sales, support. Care about all of it.
  5. Make intentional decisions. Cultivate spaces of trust and diverse perspectives, and then use them to sharpen ideas.
