I design tools that help people get real work done.
I’m a UX/UI designer working on B2B e-commerce at BDI. Before UX I directed bands and ran IT support — so my habit is to listen first, then make the system work for the people inside it.

Build it to prove it
I prototype in HTML/CSS when it’s faster than explaining, and work side by side with developers.
Learned at BDI
A different angle on “default”
At 6′7″, I run into the world’s default settings every day — counters, car seats, doorframes, airline rows. It taught me early to ask who a design was made for, and who it quietly leaves out.
That question follows me from B2B catalogs to nonprofit sites: plain language, clear paths, and nothing that makes people feel like the problem.
