Product designer, DIY enthusiast, transformational leader
My grandfather taught me that with research and determination, I could solve any problem. Now I bring that same curiosity to creating digital experiences—whether I'm redesigning enterprise platforms or renovating my kitchen, I believe the best solutions come from truly understanding the people you're building for.

Beam
Senior Product Designer
Leading design for an enterprise brand engagement platform serving 1.5M users, I created spaces where diverse stakeholder voices could shape breakthrough features that people actually wanted to use. By listening deeply to user frustrations and translating those insights into intuitive solutions, I helped reduce our support burden while building features users genuinely craved. My approach centered on empowering my colleagues—developing a headless design system that transformed team efficiency by 72% across 70+ client instances, allowing everyone to build faster without sacrificing quality. Throughout every project, I fostered collaboration that turned business constraints into creative opportunities, ensuring we never lost sight of serving both human needs and company goals.

M&T Bank
Product Designer
Working remotely with M&T Bank, I reimagined how customers experienced banking by making intimidating financial tools feel genuinely approachable—sparking a 20% increase in engagement across all internal pages. My process always started with listening deeply to user frustrations through research and testing, then crafting data-driven solutions that transformed complex banking processes into experiences people could actually navigate with confidence. What I'm most proud of is how I united skeptical executives and developers around a shared vision, turning them into passionate design champions through presentations that connected business objectives to real human needs. The result was a 3% conversion boost that exceeded industry standards, proving that when you design with genuine empathy, measurable business impact naturally follows.

Citi
Graphic Designer
At Citi, I unified the enterprise brand ecosystem across all business lines, strengthening brand coherence at global scale by creating strategic design solutions that honored diverse stakeholder needs while maintaining consistency. I built the design foundation that became the blueprint for enterprise-scale work—developing standardized templates and workflows that empowered teams nationwide to maintain brand integrity without sacrificing creativity.

Apple
Product Specialist | Inventory Specialist | Genius Administrator
My four years at Apple taught me that technology is only as powerful as the human connections it creates. I discovered my calling when I helped a nonverbal child find their voice through AAC technology—patiently configuring every setting because giving someone the ability to communicate felt like the most important work I'd ever done. I made technology feel safe for intimidated customers, leading workshops where learners celebrated every small victory in judgment-free spaces. My philosophy became "let's find out together," showing people that learning alongside someone who genuinely cares is more powerful than being lectured by someone who just knows. As I grew through Product Specialist, Inventory, and Genius Administrator roles, I learned to create calm in chaos for anxious customers, redesign workflows so teams could focus on helping rather than fighting systems, and bring genuine care to every interaction. This is where I fell in love with the idea that thoughtful design could transform entire human experiences—and it's been driving my passion for product design ever since.

Parker was such a pleasure to work with — fun, kind, and incredibly dedicated to every project he touched. We worked closely together, especially when he took over our Figma design system, and I was seriously impressed by how quickly he understood how everything was connected. He jumped right in, asked all the right questions, and made collaborating really smooth. One thing I always appreciated was how proactive he was. If something wasn’t clear, he never hesitated to reach out and clarify — which made everything move faster and better. He truly cared about getting things right and making the experience better for everyone involved. On top of being a great designer, Parker’s just a great human.

I had the pleasure of interviewing and making the hiring decision when Parker joined our Digital Creative team. Over the nearly two years we've worked together, Parker has consistently demonstrated exceptional skills and an admirable work ethic, which significantly contribute to our team's success. What sets Parker apart is his ability to take ownership of projects. He has independently led component design for several features, showcasing his growing leadership potential. His collaborative nature is equally impressive; he is always open to sharing ideas and receiving feedback, fostering a positive and productive work environment. Parker's problem-solving skills have evolved remarkably. He now approaches challenges proactively, developing creative and practical solutions. His communication skills in daily interactions and larger team meetings are a testament to his ability to engage effectively with various stakeholders.
