Behavior design for busy people

Dense workflows, packed schedules, real constraints. I use psychology to make them feel simple, and testing to prove it.

About

Psychology, recruiting, then design.

I kept building small tools and fixing processes wherever I worked (Amazon, Meta, Riot Games). Why not do it for a living?

About me

I'm a senior product designer at myKaarma, where I design for the people in a dealership's service department: advisors, technicians, the parts team and the call centre. Four very different jobs in one product, so a lot of my work is making a feature fit all of them without getting in anyone's way.

I didn't start in design. I studied psychology, then spent a few years recruiting at Amazon, Meta and Riot Games, and kept building small tools and fixing workflows wherever I was. At Meta that got me pulled into user testing for internal products, which is where I realised this was the job I wanted.

I still gravitate to tools, and I use AI across the whole process now, especially for building prototypes solid enough to put in front of a technician, watch where they break, and fix the same afternoon. Outside work I'm usually making something: furniture, long meals, or Ritual, the Chrome extension on the Labs page.
