About

I'm Brian, a principal product designer.

For twenty years I have designed products at PayPal, Adobe, Mozilla and Salesforce, and for venture-backed startups. Most recently I was the lead designer and user researcher on Auth0's enterprise team. Okta has since acquired Auth0 for $6.5B.

Projects I worked on have gone on to funding rounds and two acquisitions, and I am named on eight U.S. design patents.

I also design, advise and invest in companies throughDilshaus Ventures. Partners include Sling TV, Nasdaq, American Funds, the Maharishi Foundation and Satoshi Energy.

What I do

  • AI products

    I design and build AI products end to end: agent workflows, conversational interfaces, and the dashboards behind trading insights and campaign planning. I build the frameworks and tools other builders use to ship their own AI products, and I can teach your team to work the same way.

  • Design systems

    Component libraries with tokens and documentation, so teams build from the same parts. My newest systems are built for AI readiness, so AI tools can use them as well.

  • Zero-to-one

    Founding designer work on a first product, from the first sketch to launch. Startups I designed for went on to raise venture funding and get acquired: RelateIQ by Salesforce, and Auth0 by Okta for $6.5B.
