I am a Product Designer

I can help you out with anything from fancy spec work to comprehensive, collaborative, and experimental problem solving.

Everything I do is function-first with an insistence on presentation and polish. Things that work well oughta look good, too.

    I owned design for a squad tasked with the search and top-of-funnel experience. Later on, I took a more dedicated role contributing to Reverb's growing design system and led the process of rebuilding primary components and patterns for a full UI refresh.
