What I'm about
Hey, I'm Barry — a product designer in Seattle. After years leading teams, I deliberately came back to hands-on craft and a direct line to the problem.
Most of my work has been in complex B2B platforms, but it's the methods that matter most — I pair product thinking with iterative prototyping to start the feedback loop early. I was founding designer at SkyKick for nine years, shipping three products end-to-end before the company was acquired.
AI has changed how design gets done, and I work with it as a creative and strategic partner. The experience and judgment I've built is what shapes the output. My practice evolved building this site.

Barry brings clarity, discipline, and craft to complex problems — and creates lasting impact.”
Barry isn't just an exceptional design leader; he's also the kind of manager, mentor, and colleague you always hope to have on your team.”
What inspires me
Visual arts speak to me — I catch gallery shows to recharge and paint as a way of working through visual compositions. View my artwork
I stay curious across many fields and find books the best avenue for discovery: history, psychology, sci-fi. I keep track on Goodreads.
What moves me
A native of the northwest, I get deep in the outdoors. Backpacking, mountain biking, and surfing are my top three sources of stoke. Gardening and birding bring me joy. I live in Seattle with my wife, daughters, and pup Coyo — when home, I'm cooking and planning the next trip.
