I help teams better understand their customer and market, identify new opportunities, and create more cohesive human-centered experiences.

Past projects include working on Search at Google, the rider experience at Lyft, an online learning platform for Playworks, a sustainable vision for pre-fabricated housing in Tokyo, and positioning for a Fortune50 healthcare company.

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