Creative methodology

Designers are uniquely positioned to influence people’s lives and shape society. Therefore, good design must be responsible and thoughtful. In creating user experiences, I focus on building accessible solutions crafted for long- term, positive social impact. I do this by leveraging UX research and driving deep cross-functional collaboration.

Causes I'm supporting

I believe I have a responsibility to promote and empower the people doing society's most impactful work. I'm privileged to be able to redirect 2% of my monthly income to an array of organizations whose work I value. Beginning in July 2022, 1% will go directly to abortion funds and organizations fighting for women's rights. Each month I choose the remaining 1% from a mix of the following:
