I craft digital products that sit at the intersection of thoughtful design and robust engineering — from zero to ship.

Designing systems,
not just screens

I'm a hybrid designer-developer with eight years of experience building products used by millions. I started as a visual designer, fell in love with code, and never looked back.

My work spans design systems, developer tools, and consumer products. I believe the best digital experiences come from teams where design and engineering speak the same language — so I learned both.

Previously at Stripe, Figma, and Vercel. Now exploring what's next.

Where I've worked

2022 — Present
Stripe
Senior Product Designer

Led design for Stripe's developer dashboard, serving 4M+ developers. Rebuilt the onboarding flow, reducing time-to-first-payment from 3 days to 4 hours. Co-created the internal design system used across 200+ product surfaces.

2020 — 2022
Figma
Design Engineer

Bridged the gap between the design and engineering teams as a founding member of the Design Infrastructure team. Shipped FigJam's collaborative widgets system and contributed core interaction patterns still in use today.

2018 — 2020
Vercel
Frontend Engineer & Designer

Early employee (#14) responsible for the vercel.com marketing site and the initial version of the deployment UI. Helped grow the platform from 50K to 500K users through iterative product improvements.

2016 — 2018
Linear
Product Designer

Joined as the first designer. Shaped the core product experience — issue tracking, project views, and the command palette that became Linear's signature interaction — from concept through launch.
