Quiet Rebel in Design & Storytelling
Subtle moves, lasting impact.
I’ve learned that the work that speaks the loudest often begins quietly. For over 20 years, I’ve questioned how design systems are built and how stories are told—shaping tools that scale and stories that endure.
Through Sahtu Press and my design work, I help teams and creators push back against the disposable. To build with intention. To craft systems that last and stories that matter.
This is Canvas,
Workday’s Design System
Canvas is the heart of Workday’s product design. As Design Lead, I’ve helped build and evolve this design system that thousands of designers and developers use daily. It’s not just a collection of components - it’s how we make sure every Workday product feels familiar and intuitive for our users.

Zoosk Mobile App
I redesigned dating profiles to help people find real connections. Instead of endless swiping, we created an interface that highlighted personality and shared interests. This resulted in more meaningful matches and people actually talking to each other.- Date: 2010-2012

Chord Finder iOS App
Looking to expand my design skills, I took on the challenge of building a chord finder app for iPhone from scratch. I took the extensive Stanford’s CS193p course to learn Objective-C and bring the app to life. Designed to help guitarists with tuning and chord discovery, it was a passion project that combined my love for music and design. While the iOS version is no longer available, you can still check out its evolution in the web version at Chord-C.com.
