About me

I'm an experienced Design Technologist who helps product teams get un-stuck by illuminating problems and creating tools to explore their solutions.

I specialize in prototyping for user research and product development, diagramming complex information, and developing internal tools to support user-centric work.

I use my background in creative technology to bridge the gap between designers, engineers, and product managers. By speaking both "design" and "tech", I translate complex concepts for diverse audiences to empower everyone's best work. I break down silos to help cross-functional teams stay focused on delivering for their users.

I have built and released production features for millions of users as well as created storyboards to clarify complex workflows otherwise understood by only a roomful of people. I love to make sense of things for people and create tools for communication at whatever scale is necessary.
