Summary

Product designer who ships in code, not just mocks. I've designed complex B2B and AI products, built Fortune 500-facing experiences for Audi, Samsung, 3M, Ford, Sony + Honda, and Costco, and founded Frameline, a design-engineering surface library live in production. Looking for a senior IC role where craft, UX strategy, and working close to engineering matter.
