About
I create more than pretty pictures.
Fourteen organizations. Oil and gas, aviation, ecommerce, telecom, retail. Almost all of it on contract, and that was on purpose.
Most designers learn one company deeply. I've spent my career learning how design works, and fails, across a lot of different industries.
The pattern
Decision science for an energy company. Drilling analytics for engineers on a rig floor. Airline systems bridging ground crews and flight decks. Vendor software for outdoor retail.
You don't get that range in one place. You get it by moving.
The specifics change. The proven success methods don't Documented process drifting from the real one. Data dumped on people without judgment. Design and code working from separate references. I've seen a lot over my career and it's made me tenacious in wanting to solve those problems quicker, faster and more efficiently.
How I work
I'm blunt about what I know and what I don't. If I don't know it, I'll say so, and then go learn it. In my opinion, that's a large part of the job.
I learned ExxonMobil's proprietary framework because the work needed it. I helped build a content model for blog posts because it was an essential part of the redesign. I taught myself to run AI across Figma, Notion, and a codebase because I was one designer covering multiple brands and the math didn't work.
I picked up AI because it's a valuable tool - not because it was trending. It doesn't make the decisions. It closes the gap between making one and having it exist.
