About Me

Modern derived from classic

I’m a product, visual and brand designer in San Francisco with 10+ years of experience designing for data, SaaS and AI products. I like to build on what has always worked, such as clear hierarchy and good type, and bring in what’s new.

Quality and detail

I care about the details that people feel more than see: spacing, type, color and the small states in between. Colleagues have called my work meticulous and pixel-perfect.

A Passion for excellence

I believe excellent design comes from creative thinking and collaboration. I enjoy working closely with engineers, product managers and other designers, and my web development background helps me design things that are practical to build.

My Vision

Design and development keep evolving, and I want to evolve with them. I enjoy projects big or small, modern or traditional, and I’m especially drawn to AI and data products, where clear design makes complex information easier to use.

Creating today

I’m building Memory AI, my own voice-memory app concept, while designing for AI and data products. I enjoy a new problem because each one teaches me something.

Inventing tomorrow

I like finding new ways to bring ideas to life, from design systems and motion to AI interfaces, and helping teams reach their audience in fresh ways.

My Story

I founded Durkee Creative in San Francisco in 2013 with the idea that great design should make complex things feel clear. I’ve worked with everyone from big-name brands and corporations to startups and small specialized businesses, designing brand identities, websites and mobile products. Over a decade, I’ve added product design, design systems and AI interfaces to my work, and I’m now open to new design roles in the Bay Area or remote.
