About Me

I'm a transdisciplinary >/~designer and transition-maker who creates systems that connect products, stakeholders, and users to meaningful experiences. I hold a PhD in Design from Carnegie Mellon University, a Master's in Design from Parsons, and a Bachelor's in Entrepreneurship from the University of Utah.

My ongoing research focuses on sustainable minerals, the material end of what we build. AI as material, the immaterial end. And Scalar design leadership, building organizational design currency.

Currently Head of Design at Franki. Before that, Meta, Mastercard and Finicity, PTC, Consumer Reports, and Western Digital and SanDisk, across >/~enterprise infrastructure.

I teach design at Carnegie Mellon University and serve as a mentor and advisor at MIT GOV/LAB.

My work has been recognized and awarded across the product design industry and academia. See what people are saying.
