I am a highly adaptive and experienced creative. My career started at Apple where I was responsible for implementing designs using code into products like iTunes and Mac OS X.
At PingIdentity I designed the interface for and provided front end code for an industry first GUI of their flagship Identity application, PingFederate.
Over the last five years at Strata Identity, I designed the interface for their cloud based Maverics Identity Orchestration Platform using Figma. Progressing the company from wire-frames, through hi-fi pages and ultimately into a live product. During this process, I designed each stage of the interfaces, organized complex pathways and built prototypes. I created multiple design systems, maintained variable color systems (dark/light), and all of the designs elements. Our team continually improved user experience via iteration based on research, feedback and testing.
When I am not working I enjoy the mountains, riding bicycles, skateboarding, making music and flying fpv drones.
Over the past four+ years, Tai has been one of the most impactful and reliable Senior UX/UI Designers I’ve had the privilege of working with. Building a next-generation security and identity SaaS orchestration platform, he quickly became indispensable—designing clean, scalable, and thoughtful user experiences for an exceptionally complex product.
His work in testing, refining, and maintaining our design system—including full support for both light and dark modes—played a critical role in ensuring consistency, clarity, and usability across the platform.
Tai’s versatility is remarkable. Whether working in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, HTML/CSS, or broader graphic and visual design, he consistently delivered high-quality results with speed and precision. He is detail-oriented, efficient, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with.
I enthusiastically recommend Tai for any senior design role—he will raise the bar for your product and your team.

Tai is a very talented designer who gets things done. I have worked with Tai at three different startups over the last 20+ years, where he was designing User Interfaces for technical configurations of Identity products. Tai has an expert level understanding of the Identity domain, personally installing and running the latest versions of complex products to inform his work.
Tai has excellent design skills as well - always delivering with high quality aesthetics. Additionally, Tai has the ability to work on products that are rapidly evolving with great agility. He has great communication with engineers and product managers to ensure alignment. It has been a pleasure working with Tai over the years.
