About

I’m a multidisciplinary strategist, designer, and researcher with a background spanning UX design and product development, consumer and cultural strategy, and communications. I’ve always been interested in the intersection of people, technology, and culture. I’ve spent over ten years working with companies and organizations across industries and sizes on projects ranging from generative research shaping opportunity spaces to product design that translates insights into resonant experiences.

I take a strategic and systemic approach to design and research by deeply understanding people's purpose and problem spaces and integrating emerging technology, cultural shifts, and business factors. This holistic perspective expands the opportunities for products, services, and interventions we create that deliver meaningful impact for people, society, and organizations and ensures we’re building with responsibility and the future in mind.

I enjoy practice- and skills-building for myself and the teams I work with, and I integrate new techniques or approaches into each project. I co-founded Research Operations processes and communities of practice at my past companies and co-led the Innovation Studio at Concentrix, where we developed future-facing concepts addressing our clients’ biggest challenges.

I’ve held leadership and volunteer positions with the Design Futures Initiative, AIGA Seattle, and IXDA Seattle and was the co-host and production manager for z\topia, a futures design podcast. I'm also a former competitive fixed-gear cyclist who co-founded New York's first women’s & non-binary fixed-gear racing team and managed the creative direction, media, community events, and logistics for an international women’s crit racing team.

Outside of work, I am usually taking a class or workshop to learn something new, going to art and music shows, making art, traveling to music festivals, or planning my next camper van trip.
