20 Years of
Designing Experiences
That Are Simple, Useful,
and Built to Last.
From frontend developer to project manager to UX lead, I have spent two decades turning complex problems into clear, human-centered digital products.
My work sits at the intersection of storytelling and product thinking. I love collaborating with engineers and stakeholders to find solutions that are simple, useful, and built to last. These days I am particularly excited about AI-powered experiences and how design can make emerging technology feel genuinely approachable. Outside of work, you will find me birdwatching, hiking, traveling, or behind a camera.

"Tim is an amazing digital designer, bordering on creative technologist. He's particularly skilled in making various tools do his bidding, creating crazy prototypes or automations that leave no feature untouched. He's a very systematic and meticulous designer as well, with a great eye for detail. Next that that he's fun and dependable guy that does well in any team. I managed Tim indirectly and we worked in the same team. I can highly recommend him and am happy to be a reference any time."
