You can call me .

I'm a principal designer at Everfi working on products, tools, and systems to help drive social good through education.

These things have allegedly reached more than 45 million learners globally.

This is my little slice of the internet.
Have a look around.

♦ About

I'm from Baltimore, MD, and now live in southern CA. Since 2021, I've led the implementation of a shared design system for e-learning admin, educator, and learner-facing products. Recently, I've been designing a new platform for educators, diving deep into color spaces, exploring animation in React, and working with agents.

Before that, I worked on financial & K12 products for Everfi, including Achieve, Engage, and Data Science. Plus more for partners like Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Kroger, Beyond Meat, among others.

Some other things I've done:

Delivered a (finally relevant!) thesis exploring chatbots and conversational interface design patterns. Case study
Built a mapping application at NPR when I wasn't busy standing awkwardly in the background of Tiny Desk recordings.
Designed web & iOS screens, performed user testing, and made graphics for Parking Panda (acq. by SpotHero)
