About me

I'm a Senior Product Designer with management experience, working primarily in enterprise SaaS. My favorite problems are the messy, high-stakes ones, and lately my practice has shifted toward AI-native design, prototyping directly in code and designing products where the system does real reasoning on the user's behalf.

More about me

“Cory brings strong product thinking, design leadership, and technical depth to complex problems. He works exceptionally well across Product and Engineering, bringing clarity to ambiguity and helping teams move quickly from ideas to thoughtful, practical solutions. I’d gladly work with him again.”

VP of Product, Sycle

Working on something ambitious?

I'd love to hear what you're building. Tell me about the problem and where you're headed.
