I am a human-centered designer who believes business and design go hand-in-hand. By embracing the creative process, organizations are more likely to survive and thrive in a quickly evolving world. By placing design at the heart of strategic planning, we can come up with unexpected solutions to the world’s messiest problems.
Right now I’m working with the YouTube team at Google as a User Experience Strategist.
Previously, I worked with premier business design consultancies and the leading sexual health care provider and advocate in the United States, Planned Parenthood.
I received my BFA in visual communications from Washington University in St. Louis before pursuing a Masters in Design Leadership from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and an MBA from the Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins University.
