About Me

I’m a product and interaction designer based in Seattle. Over the past nine years, I’ve worked at Microsoft and Meta across collaboration, social products, accessibility, and the systems that hold those experiences together. My work moves between early product ideas and established products used at scale.

I’m drawn to the seams: finding the shared behaviors and patterns that help experiences fit together, while preserving the bespoke details that give each product its character.

Away from the screen, I spend a lot of time with my dachshund, Maeve, and serve on the board of my condominium association, where I’ve discovered I genuinely enjoy the odd challenge of keeping a small community running. I’m also usually discovering new music or wandering through an art exhibition, collecting ideas and references along the way.

I've been thinking about what happens as products become more autonomous. I'm interested in balancing what products decide with what people intend to do.
