I’m a UX researcher and service designer, currently designing better government service experiences for people who live in, work in, or visit Ontario.
Previously part of the University of Washington Libraries web team while completing my Masters in Human-Computer Interaction and Design at the UW (go Huskies!). I've also done strategy and data analysis at international development and corporate diversity nonprofits in San Salvador, Toronto, and New York City.
My educational background is in business and history. It’s given me a passion for detailed research, a focus on seeking out the sweet spots where stakeholder goals align, and a mindset of being inspired by the past to plan for the future.

Are we sure? A handy question in both thoroughly analyzing research, but equally at home with separating real from assumed constraints and proposing creative new ideas.
What could go wrong? I deeply appreciate constructive criticism from users and teammates, and breaking up "happy path" assumptions. I'm also a big fan of Black Mirror brainstorming and considering the long-term impacts of a service.
Who are we leaving out? I'm constantly working towards a more inclusive research practice and working further up the ladder of co-production with the people who know services best: those who use them.
