Brass Tacks
Over 10 years designing where complex systems and real user need overlap on the Venn diagram. Adobe (Marketo), Upwork, Meroxa, Teamshares, T-Mobile.
AI products need designers who can hold the product together when the rules don't exist yet. That's been my whole career.

About
I'm Dante. Staff Product Designer based in Irvine, CA. I think in systems first, then UI — which means I'm as likely to redesign the brief as the interface.
Thirteen-plus years in enterprise SaaS, internal tooling, and healthcare platforms. I started my career writing front-end code and never fully put it down. These days that looks like building machine-readable design systems, designing with Claude Code and Figma MCP, and figuring out what AI-native design actually means when it has to ship.
I've also mentored designers across both product and creative work throughout my career — it's one of the most fulfilling parts of what I do. There's something about giving back the same way others poured into me that I keep showing up for.
Am I a fit?
