I design the structure behind data-rich enterprise products.

I'm a UX architect and designer in Minneapolis. For twenty years I've taken complex, multi-product experiences from early ideation in Figma through flows, prototypes, and the design systems that hold them together. I do my best work as part of a team, where everyone gets a say in the design.

About

I came up through information architecture and front-end engineering, so I read systems the way engineers do and draw them so product and research can actually use them. Day to day that's hands-on work: ideation, wireframes, flows, and high-fidelity Figma prototypes for complex products, with the sitemaps, taxonomies, and component models underneath that decide whether the whole thing feels coherent or just busy.

Twenty years in, I don't use seniority to take over a room. The best UX comes out of a team where everyone has a voice, the engineer and the product manager included, so I lead by framing the problem clearly, sharing work early, and iterating on honest feedback. People tend to say I'm easy to work with, and I treat that as part of the craft rather than a nicety.

Recently that's meant the work I like most: account setup and enrollment that spans multiple products, design-system governance for dense policy and account data, and AI interaction patterns on a B2B analytics platform. I run my own practice, Krondek. When the data is dense and the stakes are real, that's where I do my best work.

Let's talk structure.

If you've got a complex, multi-product experience to design, an account-setup or enrollment flow, a design system to grow, or AI features people should actually trust, I'd like to hear about it. I'm quick to respond and easy to fold into a team.
