As a product leader, I draw strength from building interdisciplinary teams and aligning them around a common goal through human-centered design research methods.
I am a hands-on digital product design, customer experience, and design strategy leader with proven success in launching products, creating innovation pipelines, envisioning new experiences, and building new teams. I have 15 years of experience in digital product design and product management at Fortune 500, startup, management consulting, and academic organizations. I operate at the nexus of business results, human problems, and
social challenges.
Process drives my design. I have created a prototyping methodology that melds human-centered and scientific frameworks to validate product hypotheses. I have started companies such as Duality Robotics, led R&D
teams at Capital One and build a UX discipline at frog design.
My mission is to address real human needs with a far-reaching social impact by working in interdisciplinary teams to solve global challenges. Creativity, collaboration, and adaptability are at the core of my personal and professional existence and what I believe is at the heart of designing with impact. I am currently working on something new and am open to networking, so please feel free to connect and learn about what I'm working
on next.

I am a life learner and core to this ideal is sharing what I have learned.
From workshop facilitation to teaching, I have created learning experiences that are hands-on and approachable. I made a new studio course called Design Out Loud at Carnegie Mellon University's design school to help students drive their work from idea to prototype. I have led classes and workshops for students as well as executives. Bright Tools was a rapid prototyping workshop that helped Bright Innovation demystify design practices for our potential clients and existing clients alike.
I am passionate about ways to creatively leverage human-centered design to elevate our transition to sustainable, clean energy in our built environment. Please connect with me if you wish to discuss clean tech projects, discuss your own creative journey or start-up.
