Hi!
I design end-to-end experiences rooted in human connection, most recently civic tools used by local and state governments and the residents they serve. I believe a process is a template, not a rule, and I lead with questions. Ideas are at the center of my practice: nothing beats finding a strong concept at the core of a complex experience. I’ve recently taken on a much broader product role and loving the stretch.
