About
I help development teams design the right product.
I specialize in designing digital products that help people gain simple insights from complex data. I also collaborate with early stage startups to get a new product designed, tested, and launched quickly. I'm a design generalist and enjoy working with companies focused on big challenges like developing self-driving technology, mitigating climate change, improving our healthcare system, and making our built environment more sustainable.
Over the past 15 years I've worked alongside engineers, product managers, and usability researchers to ship over 35 products for companies like Aurora, Volta, the U.S. Green Building Council, Bright Power, Compass, Starbucks, The Open Society, Scholastic, and Zocdoc.
I’m based in the Hudson Valley and New York City.
