About

I'm a problem solver. For the past 4+ years I've worked as a product designer at Artnet, designing for a global art-market audience. With 10+ years solving complex, cross-domain problems across research and design, I specialize in simplifying dense, data-heavy platforms and building scalable information architecture, bridging high-fidelity design and back-end logic with a focus on efficiency and technical feasibility.

I work with both head and and keep learning — leaning on AI-native tools (Claude Code, Figma Make, Ollama) to automate design workflows, and maintaining a technical foundation through hands-on cybersecurity practice, including , so I can collaborate closely with engineering teams.

Before moving into digital product design, I worked across , (including a Q1 international-journal publication), , and . That cross-disciplinary research background continues to shape my systems-oriented approach to design.

Chief Product Officer

I've had the pleasure of working closely with Joseph, and he is an exceptional product designer who consistently takes true ownership of complex, cross-functional problem spaces. What sets him apart is his ability to ground design decisions in data while still maintaining a strong user-centric perspective. Joseph asks the right questions, seeks out insights from analytics and research, and translates that information into thoughtful, effective design solutions. Joseph is also an incredibly dependable and responsive partner. Whether collaborating with product, engineering, or stakeholders across the organization, he shows up prepared, communicative, and deeply invested in the success of the team and the outcome. Finally, Joseph is a strong self-learner who is always looking to improve his craft. He proactively builds new skills, stays current with evolving tools and best practices, and applies what he learns in meaningful ways. I would highly recommend Joseph to any team looking for a product designer who combines ownership, rigor, collaboration, and a genuine drive to grow.

Senior Designer

I greatly enjoyed working with Joseph at Artnet from Spring 2022 to Spring 2023, where we collaborated on the redesign of the Artnet Price Database and several other key projects. What impressed me most about Joseph was his remarkable growth trajectory and intellectual curiosity. At the time I joined the team, his role was UX Researcher. He quickly distinguished himself through his dedication and eagerness to expand his skill set. Over the course of that year, I watched him evolve from conducting research to creating wireframes, and ultimately to designing features, a testament to both his drive and natural design aptitude. Joseph brought thoughtful insights to our design discussions and approached every challenge with genuine enthusiasm. His research was always thorough, and as he transitioned into design work, he demonstrated a strong ability to translate user needs into elegant solutions. He was the kind of colleague who made collaboration easy and enjoyable. I would enthusiastically recommend Joseph to any team looking for a designer who combines rigorous research skills with creative problem-solving and a commitment to continuous learning.

His ability to combine deep empathy for users with a focus on product growth makes him an invaluable asset to any design team.
