Product designer (and manager) with over 15 years building products for EdTech, HealthTech, B2B SaaS and so much more.
Scoir could show everything about a student except what they needed to do next. Assignments fixed that. Author a task once, push it to a whole cohort, see who's behind, nudge in one click. It also became the model that grew into Plans.
A wearable ECG monitor with no product around it. We built the entire application suite (mobile, command dashboard, and design system) in four months for a live Armed Forces deployment.
150,000 students. 500,000 applications. 181 colleges. Apply with Scoir gave underserved students a free path to apply. Figuring out how to design that for both first-time users and existing Scoir students was the interesting part.
Turns out students don't love hunting for scholarships any more than anyone loves anything tedious. I worked with the Going Merry team to make that process a lot less painful, through a stretch of pretty serious growth.
Property managers have enough on their plates. I helped Respage build AI tools that actually fit into how their users work, rather than demanding their users work differently to fit the AI.
Ticketleap was for the person putting on their first 5k, their neighborhood concert, their whatever. The trick was keeping it simple enough for a first-timer without quietly disappointing everyone else.
After proving the technology in the field, the next challenge was adapting it for a completely different context — patients requiring 24/7 heart monitoring at home. Same hardware, very different human problem.
Counselors managing hundreds of students needed more than a checklist. Plans and Assignments brought customizable, time-aware guidance directly to students and gave counselors the reporting to actually stay on top of it.
I'm a product designer and design leader with 15+ years working at early and growth-stage startups. Most of my career has been spent in environments where nobody's quite sure what the product is yet, which I genuinely enjoy more than I probably should.
I do my best work when I'm close to research, product strategy, and engineering, not just showing up at the end to make things pretty. I've built design teams, run design systems end-to-end, and spent a lot of time thinking about how AI can make products more useful without making them more confusing.
I've worked across EdTech, HealthTech, B2B SaaS, Consumer, and Market Research. A few of those companies went on to do pretty well for themselves.
Open to product design leadership roles, advisory conversations, and the occasional well-scoped consulting engagement. If something you're building sounds like my kind of problem, say hi.
