Senior product designer who owns the full arc, from research to design systems to shipped code. As the sole designer for a national menswear brand, I've shipped 56 of 81 features across its native iPad and iPhone stylist apps, and I write the production iOS code myself in Swift. A former educator, I design for how people actually learn and use products.
