Hi, I'm Justin! 👋

I’m a digital product designer and oil painter.

(I also do graphic and brand design, write full-stack code, speak multiple languages, and volunteer as a UX mentor.)

I'm a Product Design Leader with 18 years of product and visual design experience in both the U.S. and Japan.

My strongest skill is taking extraordinarily complex ideas and making them simple, intuitive, and accessible. What sets me apart is that I build for both today and tomorrow, seeing systems and connections rather than isolated design tasks.

Simply put: give me your toughest problems. The harder the challenge, the better I work!

See how I built a brand new platform and collection of interconnected apps for internal designers and developers at Nike, simplifying complex processes to create the world’s best products faster than ever.

Explore how I built a comprehensive enterprise-level design system from the ground up with accessibility and scalability in mind, serving millions of Symetra clients and partners every day.

I designed and coded a one-of-a-kind, human centered social scheduling app that solves "When is good for you?”
