Based in Seattle

Senior Product Designer

A decade untangling the complex and launching the uncharted

I work with teams of every shape, from a big-data enterprise to a sports startup, designing products that change how people work and play.

Griple • Live sports chat

Full Contact Chat

You’ll never go back to flat chat for sports after you experience how fun it is to climb on a friend's back to celebrate or drop a dunce cap on their head.

Slalom Client • Enterprise sales tooling

One Design, Two Solutions

Discovery research surfaced a second problem underneath the one we were scoped for. I made the case to change the plan and we shipped one tool that solved both.

Partner data arrived late or not at all, and reports broke downstream. The dashboard I designed cut truant data by 31%.

Hi, I’m Rob

I first caught the design bug from building things in my dad’s woodworking shop as a kid. After spending a few years in motion graphics, I switched careers to UX design and never looked back.

In my heart, I’m a nerdy cat dad (of 3) who loves a good puzzle. Beyond design you’ll find me escaping rooms, climbing some rocks, or cranking on a game jam project. Since moving to Seattle, I’m desperately searching for good bagels; all suggestions welcome!

Kind Words

What truly sets Rob apart is his big-picture thinking and systematic approach to design.
