I'm a Design Leader, Tech Strategist, and Design & Tech Educator. From digital screens to digital infrastructure, my perspective is rooted in the intersection of technology and the liberal arts.

In May 2024, I left my full time role as Director of Product Design at Heady to take a first-ever personal sabbatical. Since June 2024, I’ve taken on a couple of part-time roles driven by passion and practice. As of June 2025, I’m exploring my next full-time role.
