About me
I'm not your typical UXD (however I hope you've had the pleasure of working with one). I'm a researcher, strategist and designer with 10+ years creating, implementing, and successfully delivering human-centered products. I focus on significantly complex problems where the product suite or business strategy typically is not defined and have shipped everything from bold multi-year visions to scrappy iterative releases that move the needle.
My approach to product design is grounded in research and collaboration. I believe that the best results come from understanding the end-user and working closely with the team, reducing friction for both in the process.
I'm naturally very curious and am continuously learning best practices. Right now I'm diving deeper into behavioral science. Uncovering why anyone does anything really butters my toast. I'm also an art, music, fitness and meditation buff.
