About

The heart of my approach is a commitment to support and guide people's creation, learning, and enjoyment. I believe in human intuition and empathy to establish a vision, with a high emphasis on data and testing to validate implementation.

My experience designing for highly technical products (such as autonomous vehicles, data science, and mixed reality) has given me a pragmatic approach to design. I have broken down cross-functional silos and grew design maturity for 0 to 1 and legacy products. My aim is always to practice an effective and enjoyable process to produce effective and enjoyable product experiences. With an emphasis on collaboration, I create intuitive interactions that easily navigate ambiguity.

I have a deep interest in video games and often spend my free time exploring game theory and technology (Unity, Unreal, Blender, etc.). I have more interests than I have time for, but you can usually find me drinking coffee, cooking vegetarian recipes, and trying my hand at woodworking.
