Creating products of connection and healing

My passion is designing products that connect, engage, tame complexity, and create impact and delight. This site shares my design work, writing and ideas about designing for people and joy.

I’ve managed multiple teams, launched successfully at clients like the City of New York, Tesla, and the VA, taught user research, presented on speculative design in research, been published online, spoken about how to get into civic tech, and mentored junior designers. I’m an evangelist for inclusive and trauma-informed design, neurodiversity, and human-centered systems of care, and I’m not afraid of wicked problems.

If it helps people experience joy, connection, and resilience, I want to know about it, help build it, experience it, and share it.
