I'm a human-centered designer turned founder and product leader.
With a background in user research, experience design, and innovation, I bring a human-centered design bias to build and lead cross-functional teams to launch new businesses, experiences, and products.
I specialize in working at the early stages—identifying opportunities for innovation and making those initiatives real, taking products from concept to launch.
I like to solve big meaty problems, I believe in the power of design as a seminal method for building startups and communities alike, and I'm currently thinking about rewilding my Chicago neighborhood.
