About me
I came to design through operations. I spent years watching smart people fight broken workflows — copy-pasting between spreadsheets, chasing emails for information that should have been structured, manually entering data that a machine should handle.
I started designing fixes. First as process improvements, then as internal tools, then as software. The common thread: I look for the gap between how a system should work and how it actually works, and I design the thing that closes it.
Right now I'm building Budget Itemizer — a local-first desktop app that turns grocery receipts into YNAB budget splits. It's the kind of tool I wish existed: fast, private, no subscription, no cloud dependency. It runs entirely on your machine.
What I bring
- Operations instinct — I understand business processes, not just interfaces
- Technical fluency — I build working software, not just mockups
- Systems thinking — I design for the whole flow, not just the screen in front of me
- Constraint-driven design — Privacy, performance, and simplicity aren't afterthoughts

I'm looking for product design roles where I can work on complex systems and make them simpler. If that sounds useful, let's talk.
