DESIGN + COMMUNICATIONS
I'm a product and service designer, ideator, and storyteller with a passion for social impact work.
ABOUT ME
Hi! I'm happy you want to know more about me. I like you.
With two fine arts degrees and a natural talent for rhetoric, communicating and connecting dots through digital media is my thing. My professional experience to date has included UX, multimedia communications, and course design. As a creative generalist, I can do and learn lots of different designerly things; but what sets me apart from my peers is my ability to produce conceptually razor-sharp work that prioritizes the human experience. My other superpower is a skill I call “sense-making”— applying various methods, media, and technologies to develop creative assets and tell conversation-starting stories that help people understand complex ideas. I thrive in lots of different creative problem solving spaces, but am especially drawn toward work at non-profits and social impact organizations.
WHAT YOU WANT ME AROUND FOR
Conceptually robust ideation
especially for early-stage, big-picture, forward-thinking work.
Being really good with language, communications, and writing
as well as helping others express themselves through these modalities.
Design generalism and multimedia content creation
(graphic design, illustration, UX, video, writing, and more).
Sense-making and knowledge sharing
(i.e. I make learning materials and then teach them, so that hard things become easy for others).
Being comfortable in ambiguous and socially high-stakes problem spaces
and caring ferociously about the wellbeing of others.
Electrified riffing in collaborative and interdisciplinary workspaces
as well as a passion for co-design and workshopping.
