What I’ve come to understand about myself is that I am a multidisciplinary bridge builder.

I thrive both in high perspective and in a place of deep focus. My practices boil down to building understanding between realities. And at best, presence.

I LOVE usability testing and conceptual modeling and getting people started with these.

Learning and observing people to understand what makes them tick is at the core of all I do. I want to enable people on the mission to do their best work. I have a masters in computer science & cognitive psychology of UX, and love to do UI work that is rooted in real human needs.

I have grounded my work in commercial applications as well as practicing UX work and software implementation in open source communities. I feel ethics must be at the core of what UX pros do, and I am well versed in having nuanced conversations to keep teams aligned.

A qualified vocational teacher and connection & body awareness coach, I am also available to support people on their path to what’s real and expansive for them.
