I build clarity into high-stakes software — and the practice behind it.

I craft thoughtful, research-driven solutions for actual human beings — mostly in regulated medtech, where the stakes are high enough that you can't afford to guess what people actually need. What drew me in is the same thing that keeps me here: genuine curiosity about people, and a belief that meeting the need beneath the need is worth the extra work.

Most recently I've led UX for a digital pathology platform — the software pathologists use to read whole-slide images and diagnose cancer. I joined mid-flight and built a research and design practice largely from scratch: ran the human-factors study behind an FDA submission, established our research process, and built an AI-assisted research repository the whole team now designs from. Along the way I grew from individual contributor into a lead, owning research direction, stakeholder relationships, and how the team decides what to build.

What I'm good at

Making complicated things legible. I have a knack for taking messy, ambiguous problems and finding the frame that lets a group move together. I genuinely care about the people I work with — I help others succeed by calling out and playing on their strengths, which means I don't just hit my marks; I make the team better. In regulated work that combination matters: decisions you can't trace back to evidence are decisions you can't defend, so rigor and clarity aren't niceties — they're the job.

Outside the work

I'm a husband, a dad, and a chronic hobbyist. Hailey and I live in Bloomington, MN with our three toddlers, which keeps our hands reliably full, and any chance to get outside gets taken. In whatever time's left: I play guitar with a worship team, write and obsessively listen to music, game with friends, read good books, and make coffee I'm probably too particular about.
