I'm a senior product designer and design leader. That's fifteen years of designing complex software, mostly enterprise, having led both onsite and full remote global teams. At Brightly I ran the accessibility program across four markets, and led an effort to unify a portfolio of 12 siloed products into a singular experience. Now I'm in Berlin doing the independent version of the same work, building and shipping AI products on my own. I hold US and German citizenship, with full EU work authorization.

This site is built around a transit map, for my love of transit and simple clear design. A subway has to work for a tourist who doesn't speak the language, a commuter running late, a child riding alone, an elderly rider with a cane, and somebody running on no sleep at the end of a long day. The route map, the signage, the ticket machine, even the industrial design of the train, the platform, and more, all have to offer the same accessibility and clarity for every one of those people, in seconds, with no instructions. I strive for my design work to do the same.

Away from the screen it's mostly wheeled things. I've been a cyclist since the 90s and I still ride on and off road around Berlin. I also build and prep cars for track driving, and I coach other people who are learning to drive at the limit. Getting someone faster means understanding what has to happen and what can go wrong before it happens, communicate, and execute. That transfers directly to running a design team.

The illustrations below are mine. I like drawing cars to keep my eyes and hands in sync.
