My work focuses on transforming legacy products and operations into lean, adaptive, and human-centered powerhouses of net-positive change >> .

Past

I came to UX from teaching* and academia** back in 2015 during the heady days of tech boot-camps.


* teaching English and cultural adjustment to non-English speaking refugees
** focused in ethnography, social psychology, and inter-sectional politics

Resume

Present

My team and I are driving the IBM Data Protection portfolio's transition to a human-centered, data-driven, and agile-structured  future.

Psst!
This is where I would give you a link to my case studies, but I'm remaking them all right now to more accurately reflect what I've been up to for the last few years without breaking NDA.
In the mean time, let's have some fun: here's the website I've put together to organize a DnD game I DM.


Future

I have a wonderful job (thank goodness), so  I'm not looking for new opportunities.

Instead, I'm looking to mentor early career designers who are making a late-in-life career change, POC, members of the LGBT community, and other protected classes.
