Design for a world that hasn't quite arrived yet.

I'm a UX and product design leader who spends a lot of time thinking about where the field is going, and what it means to lead a design team through a moment of genuine disruption. Most of my work sits at the intersection of product strategy, design systems, and the question nobody has fully answered yet: what does great design look like when the interface might not exist at all?

I'm currently Director of UX Design at a healthcare staffing company, where I lead an organization of UX professionals building products that connect healthcare providers with the organizations that need them. Day to day, that means design strategy, cross-functional partnership with product and engineering, and building out the design system that will serve as the foundation for AI-driven development. I've worked across startups and enterprise, in industries ranging from healthcare to fintech to consumer software. The problems change. The core question: does this actually work for the person using it? It never does.

The through-line in all of it: I'm drawn to the edge cases, the moments where the conventional design playbook doesn't quite fit. AI-native products, zero-UI experiences, systems where the “interface” is a conversation or a recommendation or a moment of ambient awareness. These aren't edge cases for long.

Based in Salt Lake City. Outside of work, I'm usually outside, which is the best argument I know for living here.
