About
Product designer with eight years across B2B software, most recently leading design for Greenhouse’s hiring platform. I built and ran a token-based design system mirrored in React, which cut design QA time roughly in half, and led the redesign of the candidate pipeline around stage aging. Before Greenhouse I designed care-coordination tools at Oscar Health, where I learned to design for regulated workflows and very busy people.
What stood out
A systems-minded designer who ships. Jordan built and ran Northbeam’s design system and led the pipeline redesign that recruiters there still use daily. The portfolio review showed clear reasoning and strong product judgment; the healthcare background fits Meridian’s regulated workflows.
Selected work
The candidate pipeline, rebuilt around stage aging
Recruiters stopped losing people past a few hundred candidates; time to first touch fell about 30%.
