I design clarity for complex systems

About

I’ve spent two decades working at the intersection of human behavior and complex technology. My background is in the "heavy lifting" side of design—environments where there is no room for error and the cognitive load is high. Design, for me, isn't about the surface layer. It’s about the architecture of trust. As we move into the era of agentive AI and autonomous systems, my work focuses on making sure these powerful tools remain transparent, ethical, and easy to use. I bring a researcher’s curiosity and a senior leader’s pragmatism to every project, ensuring that we aren't just building "cool" tech, but solving real-world problems.

SOLAR Framework - Planet-first design system for digital experiences.

SOLAR is an open-source, planet-first design system built to fight digital bloat. It’s not just about pixel perfection; it’s about performance budgets and carbon footprints. Energy-Aware Components: Lightweight code that minimizes CPU load. Media Diet: Patterns that reduce heavy asset reliance without sacrificing aesthetics. Carbon Budgets: Sustainability baked into the design process, not added as an afterthought. Build better products. Burn less energy.

The One - The anti-task manager. Do one thing today. Just one.

To-do lists are digital hoarding. They create anxiety, not action. The One is an anti-task manager designed to clear your cognitive debt. It forces you to focus on a single objective: Commit: Type your messy thought. Our silent AI refines it into a punchy, 3-word goal. Lock In: The task takes over your screen. No swiping away. No adding a second task. Shred: Done? Watch the task disintegrate with a satisfying haptic thud. Stop collecting tasks. Start finishing them.
