Designer, writer, founder
New York City
I'm an American designer born in Connecticut, currently working
at Google in New York City. My creative practice has led me in a variety
of directions in my 17+ years of experience. My constant throughline being an
interest in systems-level-thinking, beauty, and ease-of-use.
This site is currently in-progress, with more content coming soon. In the
