About
I'm a product designer who turns complex technical constraints into clear product decisions. At Garmin I designed in-vehicle experiences from exploration to handoff for OEM partners including Toyota, Honda, and Yamaha. My work spans multimodal design, platform integration, and product definition.
Garmin • 0->1, Platform Integration
Drove the 0→1 design of HealthGuard, the first wellness experience on Toyota's connected vehicle platform, working around data access constraints to integrate Garmin wearables into the platform, shipping to 200K+ users in six months.
Garmin • Discovery, Concept Definition
Defined 6 business-informed design opportunities for a commercial truck IVI platform, built from 9 in-person interviews recruited from 165 survey responses, and brought them to stakeholders as a proposal for future development.
Yamaha T-MAX
Garmin • Cross-Device Flows
Redesigned the navigation features and cross-device file transfer for a next generation Yamaha T-MAX, working within development constraints and removing complexity to deliver an intuitive user flow between mobile and head unit. *Available upon request.
