I'm a Design Lead for the Decision Maker experience at Change.org, the side of the product built for the people petitions are addressed to, like local elected officials. Before that, I was at The Washington Post where I led design focused on personalization and shipped its first AI-generated podcast, tailored to each listener’s interests and the most important news of the day.
Core to my approach is visualizing the problem early. Before anyone debates solutions, I turn a brief into something the team can see and react to, like a storyboard, a rough prototype, or a model of the system. To build proper context, I talk to users myself, synthesize what I hear, and share it across the org, because understanding why people act the way they do, not just the outcome, is what shapes good strategy. With an AI-native workflow, I'm always finding ways to improve processes and quickly move from rough ideas to testable prototypes, so we learn early and build with confidence.
Beyond design, I love making melodies on my guitar and soundscapes with my pocket synth. I’m also a shameless bandwagon fan of any top-tier soccer team. Catch me on the pitch as captain of my Thursday rec league, where the biggest win is coming home in one piece.
