Hello.
I help organizations address complex business, civic, and social challenges through design.
With a background in design research, I seek insight into problem spaces by engaging with the people impacted as well as considering the broader systemic, strategic, and technological factors at play.
As a Strategy Director at Artefact, I lead cross-disciplinary teams to develop insight, identify opportunities, and create solutions across a variety of domains including consumer technology, healthcare, education, and the social sector.
I received my master’s degree in Design from the Institute of Design at IIT, and a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Design at Ohio State.
