I am a user experience and interaction designer who thrives on interdisciplinary collaboration and seeks to empower through design. Experienced leading design teams from research and design to validation and launch, I believe in the fundamental capacity of narrative to augment users’ experience of their world. I am an empathic storyteller with a versatile mind and strong aesthetic sense. Productive under pressure, I am committed to human-centered, research-based practices to fulfill project goals and advocate for users, stakeholders, clients, and their customers. Active interest in narrative theory, embodied cognition, music, education, and cats.
