I'm a product designer and product manager with 13 years of experience making complex, data-heavy systems usable. I've been the founding product designer at three companies — MuleSoft (through IPO), Topia (through two acquisitions), and Edge & Node — building design practices from scratch inside engineering-led organizations each time.
I currently work in blockchain data infrastructure at Edge & Node, where I've shipped developer tools used by tens of thousands of developers and led the UX for The Graph's largest platform migration. Previously I designed developer platforms at MuleSoft (Anypoint Studio, Data Gateway) and led product design for global mobility tools at Topia. I hold a master's in architecture and an MBA, which shaped how I think about systems, space, strategy, and structure — skills that translate directly into information architecture and product design for technical audiences.
I do my best work on hard problems: query interfaces, data visualization, developer experience, and workflows where the underlying complexity is deep but the user can avoid it through careful curation. I've managed teams of up to seven designers and have a track record of stepping into product leadership roles when the work demands it.
I'm based in Utah. Let's talk: james@moretaller.com
