About

Hello — I'm Steve.

I'm a seasoned UX / product design leader. I like to promote UX through collaborative cross-functional teams, innovation, and design leadership.

Over the last decade I've led design across enterprise platforms, consumer products, and internal tools — building design systems, growing teams, and partnering with Product and Engineering leaders to turn ambiguous business problems into clear product direction.

How I work

I'm happiest at the intersection of design, product, and technology — where the business is trying to answer a hard question and the team needs someone to bring structure without flattening the nuance.

My background in front-end development means I can pressure-test ideas against what's actually shippable. My work in design systems means I care about consistency and long-term maintainability, not just launch day. And my time as a manager has taught me that the highest-leverage design work is usually the work I do with people rather than for them.

Outside of work, I'm into cars, family, and small side projects that keep me curious.
