summary

Agentic design engineer in Ponte Vedra, FL, with 20+ years where design meets code.

I design systems for people and the AI agents that build with them.

I've built agency sites, newsrooms, e-commerce, education, enterprise analytics, healthcare and, most recently, production UI for EA SPORTS Madden NFL and College Football.

I work agent-first: I pair with AI agents from research and prototypes to production code, and I build design systems like Layout UI with contracts agents can read, so what they generate stays consistent, accessible and on-brand. I still sweat the details by hand and mentor the engineers who carry it forward.
