Hello, my name is Hayden — I’m a Design Director.
What I Do
I design everyday objects that give people a quiet sense of comfort and confidence that feel good to use and live with.
My Approach
I prioritize simplicity, intention, and the emotional experience on the other end of the product — asking what moment we’re shaping, making smoother, simpler, or just better for someone’s day. I turn ideas into real products to make space for the next one.
