Hi, I’m Owen. I grew up in Australia and I now live in the bay area with my family. I’ve always been curious about how people think and interact with the world around them and this led me to study Behavioral Science (Psychology) and Human Factors at University. That same foundation in Psychology has continued to shape how I approach user experience and product design for the past 15 years.

I’m currently a product design lead working primarily in the fields of AI & automation, conversation design and enterprise software. I’ve led design initiatives that have helped companies like H&R Block, McKesson & Wells Fargo to simplify complex systems and provide better service for millions of users, through accessibility audits, cohesive design systems, and making sure that every decision was grounded in how it affects real people.

I’ve led at various stages of the product life cycle; from a startup’s $200 million acquisition through to large scale enterprise deals worth over $100 million/year. I do my best work when I’m helping lead the design process, guiding others and working across teams.

Looking forward, I want to keep that same focus on people; leading teams to build intelligent products that deliver real and measurable impact for both the business and the people who use them.
