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 5% of my monthly income to an array of organizations whose work I value. 1% goes directly to abortion funds and organizations fighting for women's rights. Each month I choose the remaining 4% from a mix of the following organizations:
