What complex products taught me.

Three beliefs I bring to every project, each learned on real work you can read about.

More about me
  1. Design the handoff, not just the screen.

    In public-record redaction, the risk lived between people. Mapping requester, redactor, reviewer and manager onto one traceable path exposed missing requirements before interface work made them expensive.

  2. Secure should still feel simple.

    Direct Share replaced one overloaded screen with a guided decision, so people could share files outside their organization without giving up security. Repository user satisfaction rose from 77% to 92%.

  3. Build the system, not just the page.

    At Experian, marketing teams around the world authored the pages. Modular components let non-designers assemble on-brand pages without one-off design work.
