About
I'm a designer with 15+ years of experience in product design, user research, and frontend engineering. I enjoy tackling projects with complex data or workflows, particularly those with meaningful impact on people and the planet. I've worked on projects involving electoral redistricting, watershed modeling, disaster risk forecasting, digital pathology, and earth observation.
As a product designer at ProPublica, I split my time between editorial and internal product work. On the editorial side, I design and build tools that help journalists, researchers, and the public investigate and understand data. On the internal side, I partner with teams across the newsroom to improve operations, from refining publishing workflows to conducting usability testing.
Previously, I specialized in geospatial web applications at Azavea (now Element 84), and I spent two years teaching a Web Development for City Planners course at the University of Pennsylvania. I studied Sociology at Haverford College.
Outside of work, I enjoy long walks, chasing toy birds with Olive, tinkering with unusual keyboards, playing challenging games and puzzles, and refining my All Genres, All Decades Running Mix.
