Speaking
From 2016-2019, I regularly represented the Palantir Design org by giving talks and facilitating workshops for high-profile visitors at Palantir headquarters, including high-ranking U.S. & international government officials and C-suite executives.
Organizer and host of Hexagon @ Palantir event. Gave welcoming remarks, presented workshop for attendees, and moderated Q&A panel of female Palantir designers. Art directed visual brand and event styling; coordinated all facilities needs and volunteers.
"Because most of Palantir’s work isn’t public and therefore difficult to promote, we want to give attendees an example of the types of challenges we design for everyday and the opportunity to tackle this problem on their own through brainstorming and sketching out workflows. The topic at hand will be designing an application for an organization dedicated to locating and reuniting missing children with their families. We will provide examples of various data sources attendees can use to help surface and link information, as well as any other information required to get a better understanding of the end user. Lastly, we will show a version of how we at Palantir might approach the problem through a workflow using some of our software."
Received a 10/10 satisfaction rating from 100% of participants.

A user interface for working through workflows can include a dual-region approach. The first display region can display a series of workflows that an assigned worker (“assignee”) may have. Each of the workflows can have one or more tasks associated therewith. Each workflow and/or task can be associated with one or more triggers that initiate the assignment of that workflow and/or task. In response to selection of a workflow or task, the second display region can display information associated with the workflow or task.
Developed while working at Palantir Technologies, Inc.
Systems and methods for generating an interactive user interface data for validating one or more contacts and/or updating actions for an individual. In some embodiments, an interactive user interface can be generated including a first portion including a selectable list of primary contact information items associated with the individual and a second portion including a selectable list of secondary contact information items associated with the individual. After receiving a first user input in the second portion selecting a secondary contact information item, the interactive user interface can be updated to receive further user inputs, such as a new primary contact information item. The interactive user interface can then be updated to include the new primary contact information item in the first portion.
