About

I design complex information, a process situated at the intersection of art and analysis. My interdisciplinary approach to data innovation and product design benefits from my experience designing in different sectors and at a variety of scales.

I often operate as a translator between expert and audience, using narratives, metaphors, and images to foster communication. Aesthetic preferences can vary based on an audience’s background and experience; I employ human centered and participatory approaches in my work to create visuals and services that are accessible and engage the target audience where they are.
