About

A smiling man with short dark hair, a beard, wearing a blue plaid shirt in a bright indoor setting.

I didn’t start out thinking about systems.

I started in visual design and animation, caring mostly about how things looked. That changed once I saw how often clean interfaces still failed in practice; if the logic underneath breaks, the visuals don’t matter.

Over time, I found myself pulled toward the parts of design that are less visible but more important. Things like structure, flow, and how a product actually holds up when people are using it under pressure.

That shift pushed me toward systems design — the part of the work that keeps everything else standing when conditions aren’t ideal.

Based in Burnaby, BC. Available for full-time senior roles and high-impact contracts in the Greater Vancouver area.

How I Work

Most of my experience involves a blend of digital tools and real-world environments.

At Wayfair, I did on-site research with store staff and designed mapping systems for people who were moving, distracted, and trying to get their job done quickly.

At Constant Contact, I focused on internal tools that helped sales teams navigate complex information during onboarding and day-to-day work.

I tend to enjoy projects where things are a bit messy. Tight constraints, imperfect systems, and real usage conditions usually lead to better decisions than working in ideal scenarios.

Working With Me

I usually sit somewhere between design and engineering. I care about making sure what gets designed can actually be built and maintained without friction. That means being clear, practical, and willing to adjust when something doesn’t hold up in implementation. I value direct communication and straightforward collaboration — the goal isn’t just to hand something off, but to make sure it works for everyone building and using it.

Tools & Focus

I spend most of my time in Figma, working on flows, prototypes, and systems that can scale.

My work often involves:

  • Structuring complex information into usable flows

  • Designing interfaces for data-heavy or operational tools

  • Building patterns and systems that teams can reuse over time

I also use AI tools daily as part of my workflow — for ideation, documentation, and bridging the gap between design logic and implementation.

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time training and tracking progress in the gym. I like the process of improving small things consistently over time. The same mindset drives my approach to design — progress built through clarity, consistency, and iteration.
