I’m Greg, a Senior Product Designer based out of the beautiful Portland, Oregon. Known for pushing boundaries, remaining optimistic through challenges, and keeping the user at the center of every design decision, I strive to create experiences that have a tangible, positive impact.
When I’m not in Figma, I love talking about space, playing ultimate frisbee, and listening to hip-hop.

Design Process
My user-centered design methodology (shown here) represents an open-ended and fluid process that is focussed experimentation and iteration. I adopted this approach at the University of Washington and use it as the backbone of my design process.
Not every problem is the same. This five step process provides a framework for moving forward on problems while understanding that sometimes new, challenging problems require new, innovative processes for solving them.
Nice Things
“He is highly attune to others and really enjoys teamwork and helping others. I would often seek out his feedback on my designs because I knew his insightful questions and suggestions would help me focus my design on what would be most important to the user – plus he’s fun to brainstorm with. :)
One of the things I admire about Greg is that he is curious by nature, always learning new things and sharing ideas with the rest of the team. He is very knowledgeable about new design approaches and does a good job of balancing innovative experiences with tried and true UX patterns.”
- Autumn Shepperd, UX Designer at Eagleivew
“As lead designer on our core mobile product, Greg created a market-leading experience using his strong knowledge of design practice, principles and passion for delivering great experiences.”
- Leah Brady, Product Design Manager at Verizon Robotics
“Greg played a crucial role in helping our team improve usability testing. Under tight schedules, he wrote thorough tests and created interactive prototypes we used to conduct user research. When we did not have access to users, he would recruit from other departments within the company to the lab (that he created) to get feedback, iterate and improve the feature.”
- Jason Bourguignon, UX Lead at Eagleview
“Greg is the epitome of user experience. His curiosity and genuine empathy allow him to discover the true needs of the user, both spoken and unspoken. He does all this while being an excellent team player.”
