Designers from AKQA

I've spent 25 years designing products that people actually use, leading design at companies including Shopify, Cash App, Nike, AKQA, and MTV. I work across the full range of product design, from early 0-1 product thinking through to the execution decisions that determine whether something succeeds instead of just ships. Right now I'm most focused on AI products, specifically making intelligent systems feel trustworthy and genuinely useful to people who aren't thinking about the technology underneath.
