👋 Hi.
I’m Tyler.

And I’m a product designer specializing in design systems, UX writing, and data visualizations and analytics. 

Over the past decade, I’ve worked for various design agencies, trade associations, Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and startups across the energy, fintech, and healthcare sectors.

Most recently, I was developing digital healthcare products analyzing patient feedback at Loyal; before that, I was helping to improve home-buying services and solutions at Fannie Mae.

I also have a background in modern foreign languages and briefly pursued a career as a speech-language pathologist. My interest in linguistics is fueled by a curiosity about how humans process and come to understand the world around them through language.

In my spare time, you can find me perusing my local bookstore for a new sci-fi novel, going down a Wikipedia rabbit hole about an interesting language-related topic, or stumbling upon a new band or music venue.
