Just the facts

I code, design, research and write.

I'm a multidisciplinary UX designer with a decade of experience. I bring big-picture thinking to any problem space, blending storytelling with interaction design for clients in a broad range of industries:

culture, education, hospitality, real estate, technology, pharmaceuticals, automotive, communications, retail, energy, entertainment, finance

Mindset

“No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.”

- Richard Feynman, Theoretical physicist and Nobel laureate who mentored graduate students interested in how wind builds up waves by blowing water on the sea.

Principles

01

Good experience is good business

Create value by delivering consistently outstanding experiences for users, customers and guests.

02

Human-centered and accessible

People’s lives and desires are at the center of great experiences and products. Design for people to access and enjoy them.

03

Fluid collaboration

Know when to lead, when to teach, and when to learn.

04

Test and learn

Practice good design judgement supported by data, observation and iteration.

05

Honor shared goals

Our work helps people do more and be a part of something bigger. Dig deep, discover, articulate and deliver what that is.

06

Make things better

How can I improve? Our team’s process? A person's experience? This place called home?

Ways of working

  • Comfortable in ambiguous design spaces
  • Using a balance of research and intuition, uncovering what motivates people, and why, to improve experiences or inspire new ones.
  • Curious, self-motivated and happiest when making sense of things.
  • Empowered to be myself among collaborative teams with a culture of nurturing innovation and professional growth.
  • As a lifelong learner, continuously evolving and adapting skills for new industries.

Ways of not working

I read about behavioral science and tinker with generative AI. You'll find me cooking well, traveling light, and adding to my collection of graphic tees designed with Midjourney on Etsy at Port of Design.
