I joined GitLab in May of 2019 to focus on the visual design of the product. I care about the relationship between product functionality and the consistency of the UI. I focus on creating seamless, performant, and accessible experiences for users as they engage in everything GitLab has to offer. I believe that a great UI is invisible — transparency is one of our values after all.

  • I currently live in central Minnesota, USA, with my wife and our three youngsters.
  • My normal working hours are around 7am – 4pm in the CT Timezone.
  • I’ve been designing professionally for 20+ years and work on everything from UI design to logos and packaging. I also do some development.
  • I care a great deal about accessibility and tailor my work as such.
  • Mountain biking, camping, and boating are some of the things I enjoy most when not working.

How I think about work:

  • Distill concepts into responsible and honest work.
  • Digital goods can be durable goods too.
  • Constraints create flow and movement.
  • Think in systems, design in moments.
  • Follow your users, not trends.
  • Clarity over embellishement.
  • Iteration is perfection.
  • Learn with grace.

As part of the Foundations team I specifically focus on:

  • Product UI design.
  • Maintaining the Pajamas UI Kit in Figma.
  • Pajamas documentation.
  • GitLab UI components.
  • Product iconography and illustration.
  • Accessibility audits and evaluations.
