I’m passionate about exploring the intersections of people, systems, and technology. Most recently, I’ve worked in design strategy and research for clients including Omidyar Network, Meta, and Gates Ventures focused on responsible innovation, emerging technologies, systems change, and culture shifts. I’ve also developed end-to-end products for startups and enterprise companies, developed digital & experiential marketing campaigns and events for clients at Fast Company, and worked in design & communications for a national non-profit.
I’ve served in leadership and volunteer positions for the Design Futures Initiative, IXDA, and AIGA and was the production manager & co-host for the speculative design-focused podcast z\topia.
I'm also a former competitive track cyclist who co-founded New York's first women’s & non-binary fixed-gear racing team and manage the creative direction, media, community events, and logistics for an international women’s crit racing team.
