Heyo! I'm Tony.

I'm the founding UX Designer for one of America's fastest growing private companies.

Inc. 5000 — America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies, 4-time honoree (2022, 2023, 2024, 2025)

The design processes and systems I’ve built from the ground up have helped Accutech become a 4-time Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies (2022 through 2025) honoree and Techpoint Indiana’s 2025 Tech Company of the Year.

WORK I'M PROUD OF

Project Highlights

In lieu of lengthy case studies, the following are three introductions to projects I'm most proud of - as well as a list of questions to ask me in an interview that get to the heart of the key decisions that led to their success.

BUILDING UX DISCIPLINE & SYSTEMS

Zero to Scale: Founding Accutech’s Design Discipline

How I helped Accutech build a design team and design system from the ground up that now supports its entire product ecosystem.

Ask Me About
  1. The one concept that sold our leadership team on pursuing a design system.
  2. Why we decided to build our design system from scratch vs. using a pre-built library.
  3. How I hired and structured our design team — and what I look for in people when building a design culture.
  4. Why rolling out the design system to one product first encouraged organic adoption.
  5. Why positioning the design system as infrastructure vs. just UI consistency remains vital to its growth.
  6. How I mentor not just my team but stakeholders across the organization to become more design literate.
REIMAGINING PRODUCT DISCOVERY

From Pixel Pushing to Value Creating

How the redesign of a financial planning app (Moneytree) was an opportunity to transition my team’s role from just producing design outputs to leading the discovery process from inception to launch.

Ask Me About
  1. How I helped evolve my team's role from just executing deliverables to owning the product discovery process.
  2. How we validated the decisions before committing engineering resources.
  3. How we approached various UX opportunities and decided which ones to explore.
  4. The challenges of turning a team's focus from outputs to outcomes.
LEVERAGING AI CAPABILITIES

Fine Tuning AI for Design Speed

A UX designer is no longer responsible for just designing experiences; their role is now crafting the workflows to create those experiences. Ask me about how I’m doing just that.

Ask Me About
  1. How I leveraged Lovable to build interactive prototypes with our DS components 10X faster than Figma - as well as mimic Figma’s design system publishing flow.
  2. How I created a design.md file consumable and queryable by any AI platform enabling them to build prototypes incorporating all of our design standards and decisioning.
  3. How we’re pushing beyond leveraging AI just for prototyping and moving towards actual code production with components from our design system repo.
  4. How we utilize an AI queryable database of design meetings to aid in the product discovery process.
