Selected Work

Things I've made lately.

2024 — 2026 · 4 of 22

Reframe Health Product · 2026

The clinician dashboard that stopped getting closed.

Rebuilt the daily workflow around three patient questions instead of forty fields. Time-on-task fell 41% in the first cohort.

Dovetail Brand + Product · 2025

A markdown editor that feels like a fountain pen.

Designed and shipped the new editor with the founding team. 12k weekly active users at launch; #1 on Product Hunt for the day.

Lattice Design Systems · 2025

One design system, sixteen squads, no committees.

Led a six-month rebuild of the component library and contribution model. Adoption hit 92% without a mandate.

Field Notes Magazine Editorial · 2024

Print-quality reading on the open web.

Built the typesetting engine and reading shell for a small literary magazine. Average session: 14 minutes.

Now

What I'm doing this quarter.

Embedded two days a week with the founding team at Argo, helping take their developer-facing analytics product from beta to GA. The other three days: a self-funded research project on what good interfaces for long-running AI agents actually look like.

Ways we could work together.

01 / Engagement

Founding-team partnership

Two to three days a week for a quarter or two. Best for early-stage teams between zero and one, where one extra senior pair of hands materially changes the trajectory.

02 / Engagement

Design system overhaul

Six to twelve weeks, full-time. Audit, rebuild, contribution model, rollout. I bring the playbook from Lattice and adapt it to your stack.

03 / Engagement

Workshops & advising

Half-day to two-day sessions on prototyping with code, designing for AI products, or shipping faster. Or a recurring monthly call for founders who want a friendly, opinionated review.
