Hi, I'm Patrick 👋

A little about me

Right now I'm working independently on agentic AI products — multi-agent systems and conversational experiences — exploring when people should hand decisions off to AI, and when they shouldn't.

Before that I was a Product Designer at Elements Connect, a B2B SaaS company building operations tools for manufacturers. I led design on the first marketplace for exchanging surplus raw materials from 0 to 1, and later owned the redesign of the staffing and invoicing platform. Over about two years there I did a bit of everything: research, 0-to-1 product design, building the design system, and hiring and mentoring a small design team.

Earlier, I worked on surgeon-facing UX for a cardiac-imaging AI platform. I got my real start at Purdue's Envision Center, an R&D center doing visualization and simulation work for research and government clients — where I designed AR/VR training tools for groups like NASA and OSHA while finishing my Master's in UX Design.

When I'm not designing you can find me surfing or snowboarding out in nature, or hanging out with my three chinchillas, each with a very distinct opinion about how things should go.

Now
