Good designwhere it's needed most.

I'm currently the design lead for the Specialty Contractor experience and the Resource Management suite at Procore. Before that, I was Head of Design at RudderStack, where I led the products and teams around customer data.

I'm a generalist. I'm good at imagining ambitious products, and helping teams actually ship them.

Outside of work, I'm just Steve, a dad raising twins, and three dogs, and spending my Saturday mornings playing basketball at the park.

Featured projects

2021 - 2024

A connected design team, not pods

→

I wasn't drawing an org chart. I was writing how design should work: one integrated team, away from pods. UI, IA, research, copy, systems, and brand connected, so the product was too.

Rethinking how RudderStack connects data

→

Destinations already existed. I redesigned how you connect them: a 27-field form that assumed you already knew the product, cut down to two steps. Destination creation went up 220%.

Using AI so hospitals and small offices get paid

→

Appeals already existed. The pain was getting paid for the work. I designed Appealio for hospitals and small offices so AI could draft the first pass of the letter. Appeal time dropped 75%, and revenue went up 26%.

A CPA in the business, not just on the tax return

→

Running a shop while doing the books yourself makes it hard to succeed. At Intuit Labs I designed a QuickBooks path that gave local businesses an ongoing relationship with a CPA. It later became the My Accountant tab.
