I work where strategy, product, marketing, growth, design, data, and technology meet.

As a product designer, I walk the line between empathy for the user, technical constraint, and business value. I’m typically writing in Google Docs, on a call with a customer, pixeling in Figma, digging into data, or coding in Sublime Text.

I’ve helped businesses reduce churn, increase trial & paid sign ups, optimize feature adoption, set up research & testing processes, create feedback loops, and more. How can I help your business?

About me

I’m a Denver-based nerd, product designer, developer, bad drummer & synth player, and father. I have 16+ years of UX/UI design, product, and development experience (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, PHP) experience. In my career, I’ve worked across B2C, B2B, SaaS, and mental health. I enjoy designing for conversion, driving customer & business value, optimizing onboarding to be effective, and simplifying pains with better tooling.

I have a passion for using technology to do good, and I thrive where I can make an impact. I’m a lover of garage rock and live shows, collecting vinyls, minivans, and colorful pants. I also enjoy reading, making art, being outside, and doing silly things with my daughter.

Reviews

Jeff is a great designer and an even stronger product design thinker. I hired him at Productboard and would hire him again.

Stephen, Co-Founder & CEO

Jeff has an incredible level of both drive and skill. It’s a rare combination that produces incredible results for fast-moving, action-oriented teams that are taking on large, time-sensitive challenges. He understands and cares about all aspects of the product development cycle and is willing to wear any hat when needed.

Fletcher, Chief Product Officer

Jeff is more than a skilled product designer; he’s a fantastic communicator, a hardworking colleague, and an absolute joy to be around. He has my highest recommendation and I feel confident that he will bring his unique blend of creativity, passion, and humor to any team.

Jesse, CTO & Co-Founder

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff as our first designer at Thriveworks. He’s the most passionate designer I’ve worked with. He cares about the problems, he cares about the users. Jeff's a great utility knife, running user research, putting together prototypes, wireframes, and even coding front-end as-needed. If you’re looking for a lean, mean, high-velocity design machine, it’s Jeff!!

Kabir, Chief Product Officer

I highly recommend Jeff for UI design projects. His expertise in Figma, attention to detail, and ability to create intuitive interfaces make him a valuable asset. Jeff's designs are visually appealing, modern, and user-friendly. He is a great communicator, collaborator, and consistently delivers high-quality work within deadlines. I highly recommend Jeff for any project that requires top-notch UI design skills, especially in Figma.
