More about Me

Hi, I’m Jan (pronounced Yahn). I’m a German-Brazilian-American design leader and product strategist focused on how we build human-centered systems in an intelligent world.

I call my approach PDX/AI — Product Design/Experience for the Age of AI. It’s where design logic meets technical depth, where systems thinking and empathy coexist. My work lives at the intersection of UX, data, design, and automation — helping teams design products that stay human while getting smarter.

I currently live in Jacksonville, Florida, with my wife and twin boys. When I’m not sketching out ideas or experimenting with new tech, you’ll probably find me on a tennis court or knee-deep in a side project.
