Message

At The Live Well Collaborative, I contribute to human-centered research across industries. I’ve worked on 14 projects with clients including Boeing, Procter and Gamble, and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

For Boeing’s Flight Attendant Wellbeing project, I managed a team of Live Well associates, master’s students, and faculty conducting qualitative research. We developed future-state scenarios and Gen-Alpha personas, which I presented to Boeing executive leadership to influence 2027 cabin strategy.

My research has also included in-home interviews with older adults for accessible packaging and e-commerce projects with P&G, and work with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital to create materials teaching human-centered design methods to healthcare professionals.

Outside that work, I’ve researched queer experiences in Cincinnati and used the insights to create queer-positive zines and artifacts, published in the 2026 Design Research Society conference. Through semicolinDESIGN, I also design, print, and bind zines and create queer-inclusive screen prints and products.
