I get a lot of joy from crafting compelling presentations, workshops, and classes. I also enjoy helping others shape and share their story.

Past talks include SXSW, UX Strat, EndWell, and SF Design Week. I currently teach at Pratt and NYU, and have also created and taught design courses at the Stanford d.School, California College of the Arts (CCA), and the School of Visual Arts (SVA).

I help teams better understand their customer and market, identify new opportunities and features, and create more cohesive end to end experiences.

Past projects include working on Search at Google, the rider experience at Lyft, an online learning platform for Playworks, customer discovery for Mozilla, and positioning for a Fortune50 healthcare company.

I’m a maker at heart. Whether designing a digital experience, creating a lamp, or drawing a cartoon, I am motivated by crafting something people can engage with. Play, story, and human interaction are at the core of my creative practice.
