Complex Workflows / B2B Systems / AI
I help growing teams untangle complex workflows.
When people, software, and business rules stop fitting together, I help teams make the underlying workflow visible, identify where it is breaking down, and determine what needs to change.
Product Designer with experience across enterprise systems, fintech, B2B software, and AI.

// How I Can Help Your Team
// THE PAST WORK / CASE STUDIES
TD Bank: Enterprise Enrollment UX
The Work: Led the UX design for a high-stakes digital enrollment initiative targeting ~700,000 new users.
The Impact: I translated complex compliance rules and legacy API constraints into a seamless, modern user interface. By mapping the exact UX flows and edge cases, I aligned 8 disconnected teams around a single, buildable design—preventing massive engineering rework before development even began.
Invest Clearly: Onboarding Optimization
The Work: Redesigned a frustrating, compliance-heavy onboarding process into a progressive, relationship-first user experience.
The Impact: By restructuring the UI to reduce cognitive load and masking complex KYC requirements behind an intuitive step-by-step flow, the new design significantly reduced top-of-funnel drop-off and protected the business funnel.
Project RELAY: AI Interaction Design
The Work: Designed and prototyped a voice-first AI task manager to eliminate the friction of household coordination.
The Impact: I built the complete UX—from defining the AI's natural language interaction model to designing and deploying the live React UI. By defining the interaction model, decision logic, and AI behavior before implementation began, the entire product was designed, built, and deployed in under 72 hours with no production defects.
// MAKING COMPLEX WORK LEGIBLE
Complex work becomes difficult when too much of the system remains implicit. I make the logic, dependencies, decisions, and failure points visible enough for the people involved to understand the same system and change it with confidence.
// WORKING ON A COMPLEX WORKFLOW?
I help growing teams untangle workflows where people, software, and business rules have started working against each other.
Product design, systems work, and focused workflow engagements.
