Work

Here are some examples of my recent work.

Appian Process HQ

Making process mining more accessible to business analysts on Appian’s industry-leading low-code platform.

A podcast player web app template anyone can use to subscribe and listen to their favorite podcasts. Simply copy the template, add your subs, and publish! Jekyll builds a static site you can take anywhere, or host on GitHub Pages. No authoritarian app ecosystem — just you and your pods.

Trap Kit

Low-code toolkit of components, layouts, and templates to build working prototypes in the browser with the human-friendliest tech stack around: Markdown for content, USWDS for components, and GitHub Pages for hosting. All free and open-source.

USWDS Screener Prototyping Tool

A customizable form for prototyping a screener experience using the U.S. Web Design System and GitHub Pages. The template can be copied and modified without any installs or local builds.

Plain Vanilla GitHub Pages

The easiest way for low-tech people like me to create and host basic web pages for free on GitHub Pages. Just copy the template, turn on publishing, and add your Markdown content to the homepage.

Unsuck Your Typography

A straightforward guide to better typography anyone can use — special design skills or tools not required.

Me

I started my educational journey in music production and engineering and wound my way through web development and instructional design before discovering user experience and product design.

Currently, I’m a Lead UX Designer at Appian, a leader in low-code development and process automation, focusing on improving the low-code developer experience and lowering the barriers to process mining.

I think it’s important for designers to learn about the history of our practice, so I started a podcast called Designer Sketches to profile the lives and work of influential designers of the past century.

Aside from design, these are some other topics I’m interested in:

Investing: learning about financial history, how companies innovate and provide value, and how I can contribute and benefit as a long-term shareholder.
Meditation and yoga: practicing mindfulness and creating good habits around both physical and mental health.
Decluttering: looking for ways to reduce stress and simply life by removing unnecessary things from physical and digital spaces, as well as reducing repetitive actions through automation.
Great Books: learning more about the human condition through reading and contemplating the foundational works of Western Civilization.
