I'm a Product Designer and Design Manager with almost a decade of experience in SaaS, designing for social and civic impact, and growing design teams. I am particularly adept at gap analysis (envisioning the milestones between square one and the north star), building features to adapt to lay and technical users, and driving organizational adoption of user-centered design principles and processes. 

 

I've spent a lot of time in early-stage spaces, which is to say I know how to stare down a blank page and figure out how to usher raw, untested ideas into the real world — and I care a lot about the real world. While design's default paradigm might be visual, I believe its primary purpose is translation — to make it easier for us to understand, empathize with, and connect with each other and provide inclusive and equitable access to the spaces we inhabit.
