product designer for
high-stakes digital systems
Designing high-risk digital products where errors carry real consequences. I focus on critical paths, reducing failure points and stabilizing user outcomes through clear, system-level thinking.
Hands-on with modern AI tools to prototype and ship production-ready work while collaborating with engineering teams.
Full stack
Design and build in one flow. Decisions move straight into working output.
Built to scale
Interfaces that reduce decision fatigue and increase adoption.
Selected Work
Inktrail
One workspace. Docs, canvas, AI, and publishing, no more tab switching.
Every knowledge worker I interviewed had the same problem. Their work lived across five different apps. I designed a full AI-native workspace from zero, with a document editor, visual canvas, meeting transcription, and one-click publishing all on a single continuous surface, then collaborated with engineers to ship it. The AI generates real, editable files. Not chat messages you copy-paste somewhere else.
Open project
Pay.io
Designed the infrastructure layer for crypto payments.
Crypto wallets were built for traders, not businesses moving real money. I designed the full payment infrastructure dashboard, covering hot wallets, sweep logic, and merchant settlements. Operators can manage $200M+ without second-guessing a single transaction.

HumanManager
Replaced full redesign with a system-first rollout.
The client expected new screens. The blocker was inconsistent components. I rebuilt the design system first, then applied it across every enterprise workflow. The product that already worked finally looked like it did.

Quit App
Forced a commitment before access.
You don't get a second first session. I designed the onboarding, commitment device, and first-48-hour experience as one connected system, built to hold someone mid-craving, end-to-end across iOS and Android.

Accorn
Reduced the core flow to 3 taps. Trust over usability.
A failed transaction wasn't an inconvenience. It was a livelihood problem. I designed the full payments experience for low-literacy, low-connectivity markets. Three taps, zero ambiguity, engineered for the moment the signal drops.
Open project
CoinHaven
Built trust signals before marketplace features shipped.
Everyone was building marketplaces. Nobody was building trust. I designed and shipped the full product, from provenance systems and creator verification down to the marketplace flows. Built to earn belief in a market drowning in noise.

Recommendations
what people i've worked with say.
Joseph was a member of my global UX design team for 18 months. During that time, I was grateful for the thoughtfulness he brought to every design challenge and his positive attitude which continuously elevated the results of the cross-functional team he worked with. He brought both a consumer and business-savvy mindset to his design decisions, and is committed to leveraging design systems to drive consistent and efficient digital experiences.
