For almost twenty years I've turned half-formed ideas into working products, leading design, code, and teams along the way. Today I'm Senior Director of Product Design at Personio, steering our AI vision and proving that exceptional craft can be a growth lever, not a luxury.

Previously I:

• Scaled Shopify Markets from MVP to the international commerce backbone that lets millions sell globally and in the process changed how Shopify operates.
• Reimagined checkout, payments, and post-purchase at adidas,
• Led Applied Machine learning and industrial + software design at Adyen shipping SOTA fraud detection software, Point of Sale on-device UX in lockstep with hardware.
• Drove applied consumer‑psychology and persuasion projects at Booking.com, and was part of building up up their first live‑learning ML recommendation models and designed patterns many e‑commerce sites still use today.

My default move is to prototype, translating ambiguity into tangible things you can interact with that rally teams and push decisions forward.

Getting clarity at high velocity.

When I'm not shipping, you'll find me building side projects, racing cars, carving mountain trails on my bike, or chasing powder on a snowboard.
