Situation awareness → outcomes
I design clarity into complex, high-stakes systems; because in safety-critical work, what the operator understands decides whether the system works.
Thirteen years at the seam where human-centered design meets human factors and systems engineering. I work hands-on in the craft and build the processes, review gates, and design systems that bring design in early, where it shapes the system.

Two interfaces for one device: a 128 by 128 pixel touchscreen on the rack, and the browser you reach it from. Four prototype rounds on the touchscreen, two on the web interface, twelve usability sessions, and a setup process that went from nine screens to one.

Shared Understanding Before Speed
Adapting Lean UX and the Design Sprint into one staged operating model, then piloting the missing layer: not the methods, but how a team actually does the work together.

How Long Do I Have
A thermal display that showed operators everything and told them nothing. Workshops with customers and technicians, then an interface that reports duration and trajectory instead of current state.
