About

About

I’m Parker — a product designer, builder, and idea-swirler based in Santa Barbara. I like turning weird sparks into beautiful, useful things.

Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI and design can work together to automate the boring stuff and amplify the fun stuff. Big fan of prototypes, messy whiteboards, and pixel-perfect polish.

Let’s make something cool.

Expertise

Expertise

I design products, systems, and teams.
From research to Figma to rollout, I help teams move faster and think smarter. I build structure where it’s messy, align people around what matters, and turn insight into impact.

Product Systems & Strategy

Design isn’t just what it looks like—it’s how it works across time, teams, and tension. I design systems that scale and help teams make better decisions, faster.

UX Research & Insight

Good design starts with understanding. I lead user interviews, synthesize messy data into clear takeaways, and turn research into real product momentum.

Figma Wizardry

From polished components to sprawling design systems, I bring structure to chaos inside Figma. I also love mentoring others on how to design faster and smarter.

Team Enablement

I work cross-functionally with PMs, engineers, and other designers to align strategy and execution. I care about feedback culture, design rituals, and helping people do their best work.
