Elio
Lumen

I shape useful digital products from an early question into a clear, considered experience.

Quiet systems, made tangible.

A few projects where research, structure and visual restraint helped people move with more confidence.

Harborline · 2025

A calmer route through complex planning

Reframed a multi-step planning tool around progressive disclosure, giving first-time users a legible path without hiding expert controls.

Northstar Health · 2024

Making the next step feel obvious

Designed a patient-facing appointment flow and the content rules behind it, balancing reassurance with the practical detail people need.

Field Notes Studio · 2023

A modular language for a growing team

Built a flexible interface vocabulary across product and marketing touchpoints so a small team could move quickly without losing coherence.

Useful by default.

I work best with thoughtful teams solving real problems in public-facing digital products.
