About

I’m a multidisciplinary strategist, designer, and researcher with a background spanning product design and development, cultural strategy, and communications. I’ve spent over ten years working with companies and organizations across various industries and sizes on projects ranging from generative research to end-to-end product design. My experience includes emerging technology, responsible innovation, AI, AR/VR/MR, Web 3, cultural strategy, youth & Gen Z, SaaS, healthcare, education, climate, entertainment, equity, fintech, retail, marketing, experiential design, and events.

Most recently, I’ve worked in design strategy and research for clients – including Omidyar Network, Meta, and Gates Ventures – focused on responsible innovation, emerging technologies, systems change, equity, and cultural strategy. While at PK (now Concentrix), I led projects in product design, design strategy, and research; managed design teams and cross-functional collaboration; co-led our Innovation Studio; and co-founded our Design Research Operations community of practice. As a freelancer, I’ve developed products and led research for startups and enterprise companies, created digital and experiential marketing campaigns and events for clients at Fast Company, and worked in communication and social media for the ASPCA.

I’ve held leadership and volunteer positions with the Design Futures Initiative, AIGA Seattle, and IXDA Seattle and was the co-host and production manager for z\topia, a futures design podcast. I'm also a former competitive track cyclist who co-founded New York's first women’s & non-binary fixed-gear racing team. I currently manage the creative direction, media, community events, and logistics for an international women’s crit racing team.
