About Me

I'm happiest when making things and learning about making things.
I love cooking (and reading about cooking) almost as much as eating.
Mpls→LA→ SF→Berkeley I’ve been a bay area resident since 2016, Californian since 2014, and I grew up in Minnesota.
I make music — I’m working on a solo project, I had a band that made weird electro-pop (and have lots of experience untangling 1/4" cable), and I created a soundtrack for a friend’s scary storytelling podcast. I'm a lover of experimental, hip-hop, and electronic music — I especially love a good beat and plenty of bass. I’m always growing my vinyl collection and like to DJ (both vinyl and laptop/Serato) too.

Shaping experiences to become beloved by users, making life tasks more easy and fun
Motivating users to make positive life changes
Using technology to make spaces more inclusive
Tools that build, strengthen and enrich community connections
Infographics and interactions that reveal new insights about otherwise cryptic information,
Providing individual designers and teams with opportunities, information, and tools to maximize the quality of their work, professional growth, and learning
I have a special passion for accessible, inclusive design, and strongly believe that when we are inclusive from the beginning we build things that better serve all users.
