Introduction
Hiya, I’m Andy. A product designer based in the SF Bay Area specializing in mobile apps.
I started in fintech, at companies like NerdWallet and JPMorgan Chase helping people manage their money more easily and confidently.
Today I’m at Samsara, designing tools that help frontline workers and drivers track their driving cycle, communicate, and get home safely. It’s complex, fascinating, and deeply satisfying work, supporting the people who move goods and equipment around the world.

footnote on design philosophy
Designing digital products offers both scale and intimacy: the same work can reach millions, yet each person experiences it one-on-one, in their own moment. I consider it a privilege to have someone’s attention, and I try to honor it in every experience I design.
Respect starts with empathy, understanding the context someone is in and thinking carefully about who they are. I try to meet people where they are, figuratively and literally, and to see their needs firsthand before offering a solution. When someone can feel in the product that they were thought of, the work has done its job.
