Hi, I'm Paul.


Designing thoughtful products where design and development overlap.

My path into product design wasn't a traditional one. I enjoy finding structure in complex problems and collaborating with engineers to turn ideas into products that are practical, scalable, and easy to maintain. After more than 25 years working in animation production, I returned to school to complete a Full-Stack Web Programming diploma with Honours, combining a long-standing visual design background with a deeper understanding of how software is built.

Today I enjoy working where design and development overlap, researching workflows, organizing information, collaborating with engineers, and creating products that are practical, scalable, and easy to maintain.

Most of my experience has been with early-stage startups, where ambiguity is part of the process and every decision has an opportunity to shape the product.

Outside of software, I apply the same product thinking to physical projects, from reverse engineering discontinued automotive parts to designing manufacturing processes and building ecommerce experiences from the ground up.

I'm based in Nova Scotia and open to remote opportunities across Canada and beyond.
