What I'm looking for

I would love to work for a company that shares my values of inclusion and empathy: fostering an atmosphere of kind, but direct feedback cycles that sustainably better user experience.

My preferred fields are: Cybersecurity, Open Source, Data Management, Developer Operations, as well as AI and Machine Learning. I am not open to roles in Fintech, Military Operations, or Healthcare.

My approach is rooted in over two decades of information design experience for a diverse range of users and use cases. I am especially motivated to serve in Open Source, Cybersecurity and/or Data Management problem spaces: validating both ideas and prototypes with real users of all ability levels.

I thrive in cross-functional environments where I can optimize the collective wisdom of stakeholders, researchers, engineers and project management into every single design deliverable. My favorite skills include facilitation, mentorship, ideation, data visualization and design critique that promotes a deeper understanding of accessibility.
