I design digital & physical experiences

I am always learning, questioning & evolving.

When I need a change in perspective, I stand on my head, literally. Sirsasana (headstand) is a great way to see the world from a different perspective.

no matter what I am designing…

It begins with people

Humans are beautiful, complex & have unique needs.

paper & pencils

Whether I am designing a physical or digital experience, I start with paper and pencils.

empathy, compassion & listening

I have been greatly influenced by Marshall Rosenberg’s nonviolent communication.

Finding compassion and empathy for myself and others allows me listen to people’s needs. Only then can I design a meaningful experience.

I use this same process to design digital & physical experiences for people

User Experience Design & Research

My experiences in industry and academia have shaped the way I approach and explore design, evaluation and research. I love that no two projects are the same.

Yoga

I teach individual and small group yoga classes in Rochester, NY. I approach the design of a yoga class in the same way that I approach a user experience project. I start with understanding people and their needs.
