I decide what gets built and then I build it.
Currently Head of Design at Sparq, where I own the operating model and ship AI-native tools alongside client work. I'm most useful at the two ends — upstream, naming what a thing actually is, who it belongs to, and how much of it a system should be allowed to decide without a person; downstream, in a repo, shipping the thing that proves the idea was right.
Live
Stacks AI
AI evidence layer compounding context
A new structure SOT for our org centered around capabilities instead of titles.
Engagement Change Runner
Judgement Kit
Work
Enterprise Hub for APIs and observability
Physical rendering of elements using LiDAR and augmented reality
Creating the evolution of product discovery
Outside of Design
When I'm not designing and building, I'm making; mudroom cubbies, homemade pasta, a life with two kids, 1 and 3. We made it to India to see my wife's family last year, finally. Pizza Fridays are non-negotiable. My Spotify playlists are based on what we're eating and drinking.
