Hello, I'm Randy

I’m a Product Designer based in Seattle with 20+ years of experience. I’ve worked across freelance, startups, in-house teams, and public companies, building a broad, cross-disciplinary foundation across a range of product environments.

Over the past decade, I’ve focused on enterprise security and multi-cloud platforms, leading global teams, modernizing flagship products, and scaling design systems across organizations. My work spans 0–1 initiatives to large-scale platform redesigns, often in ambiguous spaces where user needs, business goals, and technical constraints intersect.

What I Bring

A strong foundation in user research, interaction design, prototyping, and information architecture, grounded in systems thinking. I care as much about how teams work together as the work itself, and I thrive in collaborative environments where trust is essential.

I stay curious in how I approach problems and increasingly use AI as a force multiplier, accelerating exploration, uncovering edge cases, and helping teams move faster without losing clarity.

Mentorship

Helping designers grow has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. I value curiosity over ego and keep things grounded, even when the work gets complex.
