Creating products of healing and delight

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

Please note this Web site is being actively updated (using Claude) – so if you see some design issues, they’re being worked on.
