I design tools for people working under pressure.
The people I design for are usually having a hard day. An outage at two in the morning, a diagnosis they are trying to make sense of, a dataset they have ten minutes to explain to a room that has already made up its mind.
Pressure narrows what a person can hold in their head. So the hard part of my work is rarely the interface. It is deciding what the interface is allowed to leave out, and being able to defend that call to the people who have to live with it. With AI in the loop, that call gets harder, because people need to see what an automated system did and why, and still be able to step in.
I'm a product and UX designer in New York, working mostly in AI and data-heavy tools. At IBM, I led design for data lineage with banks including ING, State Street, and Rabobank, and the redesign won a Red Dot Award. I also led design for a data privacy platform where an LLM provisioned datasets that followed governance policies. At Pachyderm, and then HPE after the acquisition, I designed for AI governance and created an AI assistant that explains pipeline failures. I've also designed for people looking for HIV care in Arizona, and a color-blind-safe palette for data visualization at DecisionSigma.
Along the way, I've coached new designers at IBM, and an intern I mentored now leads a team there. Right now, I'm looking for a full-time product design role.
Where the calm comes from
Everything I do away from a screen is slow, and none of it can be rushed without consequences. That is not an accident. It is where I learned what it costs to hurry someone, and how much of a job can be quietly taken off their hands.
