Design and engineering, usually in the same week.

I am a product designer and frontend engineer in Boulder, Colorado. I came to design from engineering and never fully left either side, which turns out to be useful: a design decision that is painful to build is usually a design problem too.

Most of my work has been on systems that are complicated underneath. Health records mid-migration. Hundreds of hospital sites. Agents doing work on someone's behalf.

The job in all of them is the same. Make it feel simple without hiding the parts a person needs in order to trust it.

Right now I lead frontend at Harco, building the interface for agents that apply to jobs for you.

Approach

What I do

Design interactions that feel obvious, then build them. Clear states, honest empty and error cases, and accessibility treated as part of the work rather than a pass at the end.

What I avoid

Appearance ahead of purpose. If an element is not carrying weight it comes out. In high stakes products, clarity stops being taste and becomes a safety requirement.
