Senior Product Designer - Detroit, MI (Remote)
I spend most of my time where business logic, systems thinking, and real user behavior collide, five years leading design systems and platform architecture at Converse (Nike, Inc.), and nights/weekends shipping three independent products solo, start to finish, one of them AI-native.
Let's talkFive years inside Converse (Nike, Inc.) building the platform layer underneath the storefront: the design system and page-builder kit that content teams assemble campaigns from, the navigation architecture that scales across markets, and the governance model that keeps promotions from swallowing the site whole. The throughline: turning one-off builds into systems other teams could run without me in the room.
Design System & Page Builder KitThe platform layer other teams build campaigns on top of, composable modules with governance built in, not bolted on.Systems Design02
Tiered Promotion StrategyA structured visibility system balancing global campaigns, regional priorities, and everyday merchandising.Systems Design03
Global Navigation RedesignA modular nav system built to absorb promotion without breaking wayfinding, across regions and product lines.Systems DesignThree apps conceived, designed, and shipped end-to-end on nights and weekends: a betting-analytics platform with its own OCR pipeline and an AI query layer, a private social feed for a family's cat photos, and a concert-history dashboard backed by its own Postgres database. No handoffs, no spec docs for someone else to build from, just the whole thing, start to finish, product, design, and code.
