About

I'm a designer with a background in studio art, human factors engineering, and architecture.

My art background and training in human factors shape how I work: I start with how people actually use something, then design with aesthetic and craft at the forefront.

Outside of work I love to make things by hand: I build furniture, restore bikes, paint and print. I spend as much time outdoors as possible, biking, hiking, birdwatching or looking for the highest place to watch a sunset.

Currently

Senior Experience Designer, Autodesk · since July 2024

Education

Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, five-year dual degree: BS in Human Factors Engineering / UX Design, BA in Architectural Studies, BFA in Studio Art.
