About Me
Hey, I'm Rob, a multidisciplinary creative technologist based in New York. I work with startup founders to define, design, and build great products. I'm particularly curious about opportunities at the intersections of health, community, and sustainability.
I've worn a lot of hats at early-stage startups — leading product teams, hacking together prototypes, guiding design direction, defining product strategy, and building a few products of my own along the way. I'm most at home on small teams where roles blur by design: I enjoy jumping from strategy conversations into Figma or VS Code.
Outside of work, I spend a lot of time outdoors — hiking, trail running, and looking for excuses to be off the beaten path. That tendency to go off-trail shapes how I approach design: less about following templates, more about finding the right path for the problem.
Want to work together? Let's talk.
I've had the pleasure of working with Rob for the last two years and I can't recommend him enough. He is incredibly easy to work with—collaborative, communicative, and always open to feedback. His designs are thoughtful and comprehensive with a clear attention to detail that made all the difference when handing off to our engineering team for build. On top of that, he delivered designs quickly without ever compromising quality. His experience in product management allows him to understand the complexities of delivering new software and account for those complexities in his designs. If you're looking for a UX designer who delivers, I highly recommend him.

You won't find Rob neatly slotted into one box. He's not just a designer, a PM, or a builder. He's a Swiss Army knife of product creation: part front-end designer who speaks business, part MBA who designs, part tinkerer who just makes and fixes useful and delightful things. He's honest, direct, funny, creative and able to figure most things out via time, self-teaching, and effort. He understands the joy, structure, and messiness of the creative process. One of his only weaknesses is that he's allergic to self-promotion. That's why I'm writing this testimonial!
