User experience designer and leader. Currently asking questions and filling sketchbooks at Omada Health.
How I work
I have 10+ years of visual and product design experience. I can wear many hats within the human-centered design world, but most often I’m focused on UX for digital products and team+stakeholder management. I love working with good people on projects that strive to make the world a friendlier and healthier place.
I've worked with a variety of organizations, from startups to Fortune Global 500 companies, and have led projects in diverse sectors, including financial services, energy, education, healthcare, and automotive.
