Hi, I am Cody
I turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into customer value by operating as both the hands-on designer and the leader who builds the team and the systems around the work.
Over my career, I've led design across platform, AI, BI, payments, insurance, healthcare, and security for B2B SaaS, taking work from ambiguous problem to shipped feature. Here's how that's played out over the years.
Lead Product Designer
May 2021 - Present | Remote in CO
I was the only Designer on Storable's B2B2C Marketplace team before branching over to lead design across Platform, AI, and BI. Today I lead end-to-end design across 10 B2B product areas, including AI, BI, payments, insurance, and platform services, managing a team of five designers while owning discovery, framing, and the experience through engineering handoff. I built and scaled a platform-wide design system now used across the company.
