A graduate of Cornell University with degrees in Information Science (BA) and Fine Arts (BFA), I combine my passions for design, technology, business, and psychology to create forward-thinking solutions to the higher-level problems latent in current and emerging technologies.
I seek to help others identify the right problem to solve, leveraging the best practices of Lean, Agile, DevOps, and Design Thinking, while remaining user-centric in theory and implementation. My skills and interests are best applied when collaborating with others in fast-paced environments that emphasize rapid thinking, communication, and creative problem solving - seeing the bigger picture and helping connect the dots regardless of domain, industry, or perceived challenge.
With an endless passion for multidisciplinary explorations, I utilize my backgrounds in psychology, fine arts, and computer science to act as an essential bridge across design, development, and business, catalyzing the flow of communication and creation of truly impactful solutions. My pursuit is defining the yet unexplored spaces and values of experiences across emerging technologies while grounding strategies, designs, and core principles in the very real needs and values of the users of today coupled with the conceptual tools, technologies, and needs of tomorrow.
In workshops, customer engagements, and team settings, my strengths in public speaking, leadership, and advisory enable me to ensure that regardless of role, background, or understandings, every person is able to learn and grow as an individual in novel directions - encouraging and strengthening the desire to remain uncomfortable while always learning and striving for more. Whether standing up design practices, transforming teams and cultures, or just collaboratively envisioning the art of the possible, I place great value on the ability to connect with others, communicate effectively across disciplines, and lead strategically to encourage meaningful, strategic transformations - of offerings, teams, cultures, and entire industries.
Throughout the course of my work, I greatly enjoy and seek the opportunity to share findings and understandings through mediums such as public speaking along with publishing writings and creating patents. From building out innovative solutions and robust design teams for clients to patenting novel systems and processes, I take incredible pride in helping identify and bring to life first-of-a-kind experiences while actively contributing to the collective advancement of design and technology.
A restless drive to innovate leads me to always want to learn, grow, experience, and do more - for myself and others. Taking many forms, this same passion often extends itself to my Creative Coding, DIY Tinkering, Photography + Videography, Animation, Fine Art, Writing and so much more - samples of which you can find on this site, my portfolio, and the external presence links, below.
