The short version.
Give me the problem nobody’s figured out yet.
I’ve spent more than 13 years designing complex software, the last seven at Microsoft. I prototype my way through most problems, and I’ve been a designer, a lead, and a manager along the way.
How I work
I’d rather build three versions than argue about one
When a problem is fuzzy, I start building. A rough prototype gives people something real to react to, and the conversation gets better fast. I usually make a few versions, so we’re comparing options instead of defending one. I’ll change my mind when the evidence says to. I’ll also push if I think something important is getting missed.
Outside work
Usually outside
I’m a dad of three, and most of my free time goes to trail running, wakesurfing, skiing, golf, and the garden. I pick up new hobbies more often than I should, and the things I build end up on Making.
What’s next
Looking for my next role
I’m looking for a senior or principal product design role, ideally on AI, agents, or complex technical products. If that sounds like your team, email me.
