About

I'm a product designer and design leader in New York, by way of Canada and a decade in San Francisco. I care about family, community, the environment, and social justice—basically, leaving things better than I found them. And I'm into birds. Yeah that's a murmuration.

I'm drawn to hard problems with real impact, and I gravitate toward technology that enhances the human experience rather than replacing it. At this point in my career, I operate as a player-coach. I still ship a ton of work while leading, mentoring, and raising the bar for the teams I'm part of.

My range spans information architecture, prototyping, motion design, usability testing, interaction and UX design, project strategy, and team leadership.
