I thrive on discovering opportunities and effecting solutions that align business goals with user needs.
About meI clarify complex problems and lead teams through challenges to achieve measurable and actionable outcomes.
With focus on collaboration, strategic thinking, and user-centered design, I empower teams to organize and deliver impactful solutions that align business goals with user needs.
I am an accomplished user experience designer with success across multiple industries—EdTech, FinTech, LegalTech, MedTech, social media—my diverse background includes roles in agencies, corporations and startups.
Before designing experiences I coded them, and before that I studied philosophy. Like others in the dotcom era I left one career for the Web and after a crash course in design, I took up development.
But with an eye for design and a mind for organization, I soon defined the products I coded and eventually went all in on user experience design.
Outside of work I enjoy teaching, specifically design for UC Berkeley Extension and philosophy for City College of San Francisco.
My strengths revolve around discovery and definition and include execution and DesignOps.
Projects vary. I plan accordingly and adopt strategies for success.
I ensure a shared vision by including others in the design process.
Process is good thing and I adopt frameworks for problem solving.
A former developer, I create feasible and manageable solutions.

I foster confidence in others through guidance and opportunity.
My recent work in digital health focuses on workflow optimization and task management within a multifaceted ecosystem.
