Howzit, I’m Rob.

I’ve always been drawn to moments when technology changes behavior and the interface itself needs to be rethought, not just improved. From helping define the original Kindle experience, to exploring autonomous vehicle interactions at Apple, to leading platform-scale systems at Meta, the work I enjoy most is creating clarity inside complexity.

I’m most energized by products where design helps define the experience from the start, especially at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI. I believe the best design work shapes how people understand, trust, and use what’s being built.

As a leader, I focus on building strong teams, raising the quality bar, and making sure design is a true partner in shaping product direction—not just refining it after the fact.
