About

I'm a Staff Product Designer focused on enterprise SaaS, and right now, I work mainly on AI-driven legal technology.

For over 15 years, I've worked in fast-paced, complex settings where design is about more than just interfaces—it's about helping people make good decisions. My background covers product strategy, systems thinking, and leading teams across design, engineering, legal, and product.

People usually bring me in when things are unclear, the risks are high, and the team needs clarity before moving forward.

I never start by designing screens.

I start by figuring out what decisions need to be made, what trade-offs are involved, and what could go wrong. Then, I work with teams to pause, get clear on the problem, agree on guiding principles, and decide together what 'good' means.

Most of this work happens before we even touch the UI. It takes place in conversations, decision models, and building a shared language for how we judge ideas. When we finally design interfaces, those choices are already clear, not just added on top of confusion.

Lately, I've been focused on designing AI-assisted workflows for legal and enterprise teams.

In these settings, the main challenge isn't just figuring out what AI can do, but when it should step in and when it shouldn't. I've led design projects where trust, defensibility, and accountability matter more than just automating everything.

This work has meant building in clarification steps, asking for evidence before automating, keeping AI outputs separate from human judgment, and helping teams move at the right speed for the problem. My job often focused on highlighting risks so leaders could make smart trade-offs instead of just hoping for the best.

I've also led design system projects that lasted several years, covering big product suites with web apps, Word add-ins, and Outlook integrations.

This meant setting up token systems, building and maintaining component libraries, writing guidelines, mentoring designers, and working closely with engineers. Just as important was helping teams rethink how they reuse, stay flexible, and manage long-term costs.

The real win wasn't just one big launch. It was watching teams spend less time fixing the same problems and more time tackling unique product challenges.

As a senior designer, I focus on bringing clarity, helping teams get aligned, and making sure they can stand by their decisions.

I'm a team player, but I don't just go along with everything. I'm not afraid to point out tensions, question assumptions, or slow things down if moving too fast could cause problems later. I mentor designers to think in systems, see the bigger impact, and design with purpose, not just for the sake of output.

I'm based in Toronto and care a lot about craft, clarity, and thoughtful problem-solving—whether that's in product design, writing, or creative projects outside of tech.
