Founding designer
NYC
Based since 2011
I'm an independent consultant partnering with teams to define and launch digital products that improve daily life.
My career started in San Francisco as I was working at the nexus of design and engineering while the discipline of UX was taking shape. Over the past two decades, I've moved between full-time roles and solo consulting with startups, studios, and larger enterprises.
I'm most drawn to challenges that call for both invention and rigor. In recent years, this has led me back to building from the ground up in early-stage opportunities where I believe design can have outsized impact on the success of a business.
