About

I started my career organizing knowledge systems and services in libraries – a field that’s been grappling with how people find, understand, and use information for centuries. That foundation shaped everything I do now as a researcher and designer organizing shared understanding for teams across domains and disciplines.

What I bring to the table

I’ve worked across startups, nonprofits, and government agencies, and products as diverse as policy research tools, enterprise financial systems, community platforms, and accessible digital experiences. I’m experienced in:

• Mixed-methods research (interviews, usability testing, card sorts, surveys, analytics)
• Information architecture and service design
• Enterprise software and regulated environments
• Design systems and accessibility (WCAG, 508 compliance)
• Building research capabilities and democratizing insights across teams
• Mentoring and cross-functional collaboration

I’m also comfortable with code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, R) and design tools (Figma, Sketch), which helps me work effectively with engineering teams and understand technical constraints.

When I’m not working

If I’m outside, I’m probably birdwatching (I have a particular fondness for backyard birds).

If I’m inside, I’m reading or watching something about ancient or pre-history, mentally cataloging what persists across millennia of human problem-solving.

There’s a lot to learn from our neighbors and our shared history.

Reach out

Current status: actively seeking full-time work and am also open to contract/freelance projects.

If you think we’d work well together, it’d be great to hear from you.
