Director of Product Design
Design lead for the Censys Internet Intelligence Platform ($63M ARR, growing 69% year over year), which unifies Attack Surface Management and Search into a single product built on the industry's largest Global Internet Map. I own design for the AI, data intelligence surfaces, enterprise readiness and lead three designers across the rest.

- Designed Censys Investigations, an agentic framework that makes senior-level investigation available to anyone on a security team. Users direct it at a problem; it runs hours of expert pivots across the Internet Map and returns cited evidence with the reproducible query behind every finding. Architected as an expanding skill set rather than a single feature.
- Led the information architecture for unifying two mature products into one platform, folding ASM in as Exposure Management, making room for new lines like Supply Chain Intelligence, and reaching feature parity to retire the legacy Search product in September 2026.
- Designed the self-serve growth surface end to end: unauthenticated platform preview, registration, Google Auth, credit UX, and auto-replenish. Self-serve revenue more than doubled and MAUs grew 84% across three quarters.
- Owned the enterprise readiness suite that large security organizations require before they can buy: SCIM provisioning, MFA, audit logging, self-service account deletion, and role-aware insights.
- Replaced the team's Figma workflow with an AI-driven pipeline: Lovable for low and mid-fidelity exploration, then Claude Design with custom skills and Claude Code to build against our design system, carrying an idea from discovery to near production-ready front-end code.
- Led design direction for Censys Assistant, the platform's conversational AI layer, Reputation Score, Threat Actor Z-Score, Critical Infrastructure, Tracked Threats, and Investigation Manager. Set the approach and reviewed the craft; the team owned execution.
- Grew the design function to four, established its critique and research practice, and coached the team to a first-place hackathon finish.
