I'm Ted, a reliable designer, manager, researcher, and sometimes developer

I’m currently a design manager at Dialpad, helping customer support folks do their job. Previously I led Stack Overflow’s enterprise design team and was Canfield Scientific’s first design hire.

I also created and sold Cerberus, an open source framework for email development, and built one of the first email design systems.

I'm a player-coach kind of design manager. I lead teams, but I also work on my own design projects with my PMs and engineers.
I believe design is about taking the complex and chaotic and making it accessible to people, responsive , and as fast as possible.
