I lead design for people whose work happens away from a desk.

I'm a design leader based in Providence, Rhode Island. For six years I led UX for Comcast's construction finance platform, which now serves more than 115,000 people, and built the design system behind it. Before that, I founded and ran a software studio for five years.

How I work

Start where the work happens
Whenever I can, I observe people doing the work before designing anything. When direct access isn't possible, I learn from the people closest to it: managers, developers, and the spreadsheets teams keep on the side.
Measure before and after
I track click depth, task time, error rates, and satisfaction, so each change can be judged on evidence.
Work closely with developers
Running a software studio taught me to collaborate with engineers in their terms, and to build shared habits that keep what ships true to what was agreed.
Grow the people around the work
I mentor designers, coach developers and QA on design standards, and bring skeptical stakeholders into the process early, so good decisions outlast my involvement.
