ABOUT





My professional purpose is to leverage my unique background, experience, and capabilities to contribute in a way that is guided by quality, need, and passion. I am driven to bring a honed skillset to the table, working in a capacity that has far-reaching implications for the functioning of society.


My strength lies in interpreting, understanding, and translating technical concepts into intuitive and elegant experiences. My background in anthropology helps me center humanity in my work, while my background in engineering helps me approach problem spaces with a sense of feasibility and possibility.


My work is driven by the ability to learn rapidly and deeply, coupled with the ability to navigate ambiguous spaces. I have experience in helping to develop UX processes from the ground up, as well as working as a design consultant.
