My goal is to create and improve people’s experiences with technology, to reduce friction, and add delight. Hopefully making life a little easier and brighter for people, and in turn, making the world a better place.
To accomplish this goal, I help people explore complex design problems and create solutions that balance the needs of multiple stakeholders, including business product owners, developers, and, of course, the people using the solution.
