I’ve worked in tech firms, design studios, and higher education over a 13-year career spanning the US, Switzerland, and the UK. I have a particular specialization in translating complex systems into designs that are understandable, useful, and beautiful.
I also have substantial experience as a design educator, having spent three years as a full-time faculty member at American University in Washington, DC, as well as one quarter as instructor of record at the University of Washington in Seattle.
I’ve lived in London since 2019.
