About

I design and build digital products using strategy, visuals and code. My work meets at the intersection of product and service design. I design with data, work cross-functionally, and advocate for user research.

Over the last 10 years, I have had the pleasure to work with teams at Instagram, Duolingo, Nike, Spotify, Google, Playstation, Capital One and more.
