I am a designer, educator and visual artist with a passion for interactive media, experience design, research and education. My approach is interdisciplinary in nature and follows design thinking methodologies: define, research, ideate, prototype, test, implement, and learn (not always in that order ;) ). I’m continually inspired and motivated by the possibilities present in creative problem-solving to help people in their everyday lives and build strong, sustainable businesses and communities.

I’ve worked on a variety of digital, print and research projects for Kaiser Permanente, IDEO, Next 10, Sony, Mitsubishi, Microsoft and San Francisco Bay Area food businesses and non-profits. At present, I practice Experience Design and User Research at Razorfish and teach community-based graphic design at California College of the Arts.
