About
I’m a Principal/Staff-level product designer with 15+ years designing complex operational systems, specializing in the gaps between teams, systems, and real-world workflows. I translate evidence, constraints, and platform behavior into clear, role-aware UX—often as the sole designer or strategic player-coach—so people can act with confidence across Product, Engineering, Operations, and Data Science.
My work spans warehouse automation, logistics, industrial data, and AI-assisted investigations, where I improve how workflows scale from pilot to enterprise (including on-site validation, commissioning, UAT, and training). I’ve also led UX for AI-assisted fraud/AML investigations and built design patterns that make casework, evidence capture, and human-in-the-loop judgment practical, legible, and consistent.

Work experience· 13 roles
Evaluated AI-generated product-design outputs against UX prompts and defined criteria, assessing interaction quality, visual communication, accessibility, reasoning, and fit to real workflows. Designed evaluation prompts to expose failure modes from ambiguity in visual information, requirements, language, and context, and compared multiple model responses to improve prompt testing rigor.
Promoted to lead a 25-person production design team responsible for high-volume, OEM-compliant campaigns. Redesigned intake, onboarding, templates, and production workflows to reduce errors, accelerate ramp, and maintain predictable delivery without relying on overtime. Reduced active request queue from 600–800 to ~250 by replacing manual intake and tightening production workflows. Cut new-hire ramp time from two months to two weeks with structured onboarding and reusable training systems. Introduced automated PDF intake, reusable templates, and standardized compliance checks to improve consistency and reduce mistakes.
Owned UX for an HMI/SCADA platform used across 50+ warehouse sites, translating equipment signals, material-flow dependencies, permissions, and field practices into role-aware workflows to support earlier intervention. Improved diagnostics, alerting, reporting, and training to reduce unnecessary escalations and off-hours escalation costs; supported multiple warehouse launches through commissioning, UAT, training, and live-site validation, including standardization toward a reusable 90/10 enterprise model.
