About Me

I have over 18 years of experience working with diverse teams to design simple solutions to complex problems in the enterprise, education, and music learning, always focused on delivering a product that puts people first.

You can see more ideas and explorations in the Design category on my blog.

Outside of design, I enjoy taking photos and playing the drums. My experience as a jazz musician taught me the value of collaboration and practice (as well as improvisation!), and exposed me to life experiences well outside my own. I've played gigs everywhere from a quinceañera to a Baptist church with an array of musicians diverse in age, gender, and heritage. Some of my closest friends here in New York are those I grew up playing with around Seattle.

This site is built using Jekyll for simplicity and speed — not everything needs to be JavaScript all the way down. I used HTML5 Boilerplate as a starter and added the Lightbox plugin to display high resolution images and anime.js to make sequential animations easy.
