I'm Douglas. I lead design teams building digital products.

I'm a design leader with a background in engineering from MIT and design from Harvard. I've spent my career building and scaling design teams that create developer tools, from serverless compute platforms at Heroku to data and AI services at AWS. I care deeply about craft and the details that make complex software feel intuitive.

I work at the intersection of code and design. I've built products and led teams across startups and enterprise, from founding designer to director. I bring technical depth to leadership. I understand what my teams are building and can go deep on implementation when it matters. Currently, I'm the UX Design Manager for Amazon QuickSight.

I'm drawn to hard problems. Designing for power users, making agentic AI workflows feel trustworthy, and inventing interaction patterns that don't exist yet. The best digital products disappear. They let experts move at the speed of thought.
