Introduction:

I’ve spent the last three decades making complex technologies more accessible for everyone – whether you’re a developer diving into code, using a screen reader, or looking for a more straightforward way to get things done.

At Microsoft, where I led design for developer tools, I learned that good design means nobody should have to fight with technology. Now, I create cross-platform products that combine thoughtful design with solid engineering because technology should work well for all of us, regardless of how we interact with it.

Featured Case Study:

High-density Fluent

After Microsoft announced the Fluent Design System in 2017, I joined the initiative to adapt its design principles for professional developer tools. This meant reimagining Fluent’s consumer-focused aesthetics for the complex, information-dense interfaces developers need in their daily work. Working alongside design teams in Redmond, we explored how to balance Microsoft’s new design language with the practical demands of development environments, particularly for Visual Studio for Mac.
