I specialize in designing scalable systems that balance user needs with long-term business growth. By anticipating where products and teams need to go, I align strategy, design, and execution for durable impact.

Working with Rob for over six years, he always brought a perspective to the table that considered how his team’s work fit into a larger whole within MongoDB’s product ecosystem, while also supporting the organization internally in adopting that work. The overlap of his vision and focus on business impact, while being able to zoom in on the details at the right times, is a rare combination that I was lucky to have on my team.

Business Impact

I focus on outcomes, not outputs. By connecting design decisions to clear metrics, I ensure design is not just beautiful, but instrumental in driving adoption, revenue, and efficiency.

What stood out was Robert’s ability to bridge design and business strategy. He translated the Apex experience into language product and business leaders could rally behind, giving design real influence in key decisions.

Craft & Execution

With deep expertise in design systems and interaction design, I set a high bar for execution quality. I believe details matter — great systems free teams to move faster while ensuring consistency and polish across experiences.

Robert has a deep understanding of both design principles and technical execution, they excel at creating design systems that are not only functional but also adaptable and scalable, empowering teams to build consistent and high-quality experiences effortlessly.

Collaboration & Velocity

I work closely across product, engineering, and leadership to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality. My approach balances pragmatism with vision, so teams can ship, learn, and iterate quickly.

Rob eliminated so much friction in the way we worked. By streamlining decision-making and clarifying trade-offs, he made it easier for the whole team to iterate quickly.

A little about myself

I've previously worked at MongoDB, Clarifai, Capital One and Involution Studios. I received my bachelor's in industrial design at the Rhode Island School of Design, where I took everything from glassblowing and iron casting, to an intro to CS course at Brown. Prior to that I studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and the French Lycée in Bethesda, MD.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about sailing, cycling, and racket sports.
