Product designer  ·  New York

I work on products where the hard part is understanding what's happening.

Agentic chemistry, AI research tools, healthcare software. Domains where the system is genuinely complicated and the interface has to make it legible anyway.



About

The through-line is complexity that can't be simplified away.

A chemist choosing a synthesis route, a researcher working through a hundred papers, a care coordinator documenting a visit — none of them can be handed a simpler version of their job. What they can be handed is an interface that shows the right thing at the right moment, and is honest about what the system is doing underneath.

That's most of what I do: figure out what's actually going on, find the distinctions that matter, and design around those rather than around the org chart or the database. It usually means writing the spec before drawing anything.

Based in New York. Previously at eVero and Aristto, currently at DigiChem.
