Structural design leadership for complex enterprise systems.

Eight-plus years at world-class retailers like Walmart and Lowe's, working in store operations, supply chain analytics, data governance, and third-party labor. $3M+ in documented savings. 135% NPS improvement. A backroom process that went from 2:34 to 0:42 per bin — across 3,500 stores.

I find the structural problem underneath the surface request, then build systems that outlast the project.

Strengths

Problem Reframing

I slow teams down long enough to fall in love with the problem so we can move fast, with confidence in our solution.

Information Architecture

I model the system before designing the screen. Clarity at the structural level produces interfaces that don't require explanation.

Work That Outlasts the Project

The patterns I build tend to get picked up by other teams. The frameworks I define tend to change how product and engineering scope future work. I'm not just designing for this sprint — I'm designing for the future.

Elevating People and Their Craft

I care a lot about the people I work with. In practice that looks like sitting with a junior designer to help them frame a problem differently, running a design review in a way that changes how the team gives feedback, or helping a PM see a structural issue before it becomes an engineering problem.

Design Systems

Built and maintained enterprise-scale systems at Walmart, Movista, and Lowe's. Components that cut a two-month project to two weeks.

AI-Integrated Workflows

Built a custom GPT intake tool that replaced incomplete Jira tickets and cut UX kickoff time by ~50%. Use AI actively as a thinking partner throughout discovery, not just for output.

Tools & Platforms

I've built products using a wide range of tools and for a range of platforms including Figma, HTML/CSS/JS, Looker Studio Pro, and Palantir.

AI-Enabled Features

I've designed AI-enabled product features that help companies do their best work, faster.
