About

I’m a senior product designer who’s spent most of my career making complicated tools feel obvious.

Today I lead end-to-end product design at Tabnine — across AI-powered developer tools, enterprise workflows, admin experiences, and the design system that holds them together — from discovery and user flows through polished UI, developer handoff, and implementation review.

Before Tabnine, I worked across B2B SaaS, complex internal operations platforms, and earlier freelance across dozens of digital products. The throughline has been products with real stakes — where unclear UX can cost time, trust, and operational confidence.

I care about clear flows, thoughtful UI, and making complex decisions easier to understand. I like working closely with engineers, writing the docs, and shaping the small details that make a product feel calmer.

How I work

A few principles that show up everywhere.

Less a manifesto and more the patterns I keep noticing in the work I’m proudest of.

01

Start from the customer's job, not the feature list.

Most enterprise complexity comes from designing around what shipped, not around what someone is trying to do. I work backwards from the moment of decision.

02

Density is a feature when it serves comprehension.

Admin and data-heavy UI often needs to show a lot at once. I focus on hierarchy: what should stand out, what should stay quiet, and what needs action.

03

Systems earn their place by disappearing into the work.

A design system is useful when it saves the team from solving the same UI questions again and again. I build them so the team feels faster, not more constrained.

04

Be honest about uncertainty in AI products.

Streaming, partial answers, citations, error recovery, and trust repair — these are interaction patterns, not edge cases. They deserve the same care as the happy path.
