Product Designer in San Francisco

About

I'm a t-shaped generalist, specializing in product design, with range across marketing and product management.

15 yrs of experience in 3 different chunks of ~5 yrs each, starting at Facebook, then independent consulting w/ several startups, then lead product designer at OhmConnect.

Interested in software, design, low/no-code tools, and a range of health, nutrition and fitness. I like building physical stuff when I'm offline, like a sauna, cold plunge, and lots of cooking experimentation in the kitchen.
