Hello! 

I'm Patrick. I'm a Senior / Staff Designer with over 10 years of experience with expertise in enterprise B2B design and design systems. I'm currently building out a design system for an enterprise marketing site and looking for my next opportunity. 

I recently built and deployed the largest update to the Clarity Design System in its 15 year history. I simultaneosly worked on a cross company initiative to develop accessibility recommendations for the FIDO Alliance. My toolkit includes running workshops, diagramming big ideas, user research, design critiques, and sketching (by hand). 

Why work with me?

I'm an experienced lead who knows how to run projects, interface with stakeholders, and doesn't shy away from technical details or complex domains. I place priority on balancing business needs, user needs, and stakeholder goals. 

Experience

• Staff Designer, Design Systems at VMWare
• Principal Product Designer for Financials at Workday
• Senior Designer at DesignMap

Writing

• Dealing with Pain
• Time management when you’re terrible at focusing

I'm probably in a garden somewhere. 

I'm a regular with the Friends of Sausal Creek, a core member of Homegrown Habitats and my instagram account is basically all plant photos. I focus on ecosystem restoration in part because the future is looking pretty scary.  

I'm also a parent and married to an amazing business owner.
