I come to design by way of visual art and carpentry, so building both beautiful and useful things is in my blood. I am also trained in Philosophy and Human Factors, which have honed my critical-thinking and communication skills. I love getting to the bottom of challenging problems, and I know how to ask good questions to help get me there. 

 

My professional experience spans the fields of design, research, project management, marketing, and product development, and I thrive on cross-functional teams. 

 

I bring insatiable curiosity and unbridled creativity to important design challenges, always with a customer-centric mindset.  l am a consummate team player who champions the good work of teammates and can mentor junior colleagues--and who believes that I have something to learn from everyone. 

​

And I'm obsessed with the Roseate Spoonbill.
