About

Design and product leader with 20 years experience designing physical, digital, generative and ML driven experiences. I started out as an industrial, graphic and web designer in the early 2000s both in-house and for studios. Today I lead impactful UX teams with passionate design cultures.

I believe in the power of consilience, empathetic leadership and a culture of rigorous learning to drive innovation and high performing teams.

My interests include generative and performance art, ethnobotany and food systems. Mom to three children, two dogs and one cat.
