About Me

I'm a UX designer with a background in graphic design and front-end development. I've spent most of my career in B2B SaaS, designing products where the success metric isn't just "does it look good" but "did support tickets drop, did onboarding get faster, did revenue go up."

I've worked across enterprise desktop apps, mobile apps, and data visualization tools. I'm most useful when the problem is ambiguous and the constraints are real.

Outside of work, I make 3D sculpts in Blender and illustrations in Clip Studio Paint.

Reid proactively reached out to all relevant team members to understand the rationale behind past decisions and seamlessly assumed a leadership role in UX design."

"Reid is the definition of grit and grace combined. He embraces all projects with authority and confidence, and quickly becomes the subject matter expert. His ability to pivot and take feedback while still being helpful and kind makes him a pleasure to work with. He's a UX architect by trade, but a creative technologist by heart."
