Designing clarity into complex products

I bring clarity to enterprise UX, turning sprawling, hard-to-navigate products into something coherent, usable, and clear. That work happens in partnership with the business, in collaboration with my teammates, and in service to the people who actually use what we build.

Work

Over the last 9 years I worked at Tanium, a cybersecurity and IT operations company, working on a variety of projects with diverse needs and challenges at enterprise scale. Included are examples of where I worked with my product teams to bring clarity and value to users, evolving the platform into an intuitive, outcome-based experience.

"He was truly the voice of the customer/user in many of our meetings."

He had a great deal asked of him our entire time together, including design responsibility for multiple products, usually not in the same space, at the same time. His work was always completed quickly, explained well, and he was truly the voice of the customer/user in many of our meetings.
