engagements.

I'm selective. I take on work where the problem is genuinely hard and the domain matters.

Currently at Ripple Treasury full-time. Available for advisory and short-form project engagements alongside.

Services

Design system architecture

  • Post-acquisition integration
  • Token pipeline design
  • Multi-brand governance

Token systems, multi-brand CI/CD, semantic aliasing, governance. Particularly valuable post-acquisition or during platform consolidation — when two brands must coexist in one codebase without starting over.

AI-native product design

  • Agent orchestration UX
  • Trust + provenance patterns
  • Agentic workflow design

Designing for AI agents and agentic workflows — trust architecture, provenance display, confidence signals, task handoff UX. Not AI-assisted design. Designing the AI itself, so users can trust what it tells them.

Finance-domain product

  • Treasury + capital markets
  • Regulated crypto UX
  • Complex workflow density

Treasury, capital markets, crypto/DeFi UX. High-complexity regulated workflows where most designers have no domain knowledge. I've shipped at the institutional capital markets, crypto banking, and global treasury scale.

Engagement types

Advisory

4–8 hrs/month

For design leaders who need a systems-oriented sounding board. Regular async review, strategic input on architecture decisions.

Project engagement

6–12 weeks

Defined scope, defined deliverables. Works best when there's a clear hard problem: a design system to build, a platform to redesign, a new product in a regulated domain.

Track record

Design systems at acquisition scale

Led a multi-brand token pipeline during a major enterprise acquisition — two brand systems unified into a single YAML source, outputting to 6 formats with automated CI/CD distribution. Designed to survive organizational change.

AI infrastructure for daily use

Built Nodus — 17 specialized agents, 630K+ vectorized knowledge chunks, trust architecture with provenance on every output. I run it daily. Not a proof of concept. Infrastructure I depend on.

Crypto banking from zero

Founding team and head of design at Cybrid ($3.1M seed) — built the product from zero to product-market fit in regulated crypto banking. Know the domain before it was mainstream.

Get in touch

Tell me the problem, not the job description. What's actually hard? What's broken? What decision is stuck? I'll respond if it's in scope.
