Hello!! I’m a designer by practice, illustrator by night, developer by education, and generally just a person hoping to affect positive social change through the things that I do.
Work
Currently designing software at Anduril to solve complex national security challenges for the US and its allies.
Previously 1) input & assistive technologies for Windows and 2) Microsoft's Inclusive Design methodology, including reexamining the value of personas in the design practice.
Personal
I've designed and developed several accessibility plugins to help optimize the way designers check for accessibility.
I run a small shop that features my explorations in digital and traditional art.
Speaking
Guest lectured at the University of Maryland, Seattle U, Emily Carr, and Brown University.
I've been a panelist for IBM Accessibility and Seattle Design Festival.
I demoed at the Figma Plugin launch and had planned to speak at CSUN Assistive Technology 2020 (RIP COVID).

Art project
Bringing some of my 2D illustrations to life with added dimensionality / perspective.
Art / dev project
My first big art project that got me in love with storytelling - channeled my inner Brandon Stanton and asked strangers some questions, and then illustrated their answers using light parallax effects.
