Summary

As an avid engineer and UXer, I have a deep wealth of experience delivering products for professionals & experts, always with a keen focus on practicality & inclusivity, and copious enthusiasm for building & maintaining design systems that encourage dev teams’ collaboration and raise the bar for end-users. I’m always working to reach across domains and pull people, skills, and knowledge together to bring ever more valuable experiences to market. I strive to build community every day, to which end I’m also a founder of two nonprofit cooperatives.
