I take undefined problems and turn them into something worth building.
Principal Designer at Southern Glazer's, on Proof. I sit outside the product teams, working with product and research directors on where the platform goes and alongside the designers taking it there. Previously HEINEKEN and Booking.com.
The B2B platform where 100,000+ bars, restaurants, and retailers order from North America's largest drinks distributor. Public since 2019, past $3B in annual orders. I work across the platform rather than inside one team: taking on the undefined problems, proving them out through discovery, research, and prototypes, and then working with the designers who build what comes out of it.
35+ markets ran 35 ordering sites, and nobody had defined what one platform should mean across them. I led design on defining it, then on building it: consistent by default, localized only where that changed the outcome. Grew the design team from 2 to 13 along the way.
Search Results and Attractions. Ran filter and listing experiments on one of travel's highest-traffic surfaces. The tablet stack belonged to nobody, so it rotted. I picked it up unasked and made the case for deleting it.
Sixteen years in commerce: footwear, travel, beer, now spirits. How I decide, and what those decisions cost.
