ATLANTA, GA

Georgia Tech HCI student, mixed-methods researcher, and recovering front-end DESIGNER. I've spent the last several years studying why people engage — or don't — with the programs and products built for them. Along the way I launched a city's first marathon, drew 1,400 people to a program that didn't exist the year before, and helped a Fortune 500 rethink what engagement actually means.

MY LIFE's TASK*

MY LIFE's TASK*

I need to understand the why. I take things apart to discover how they work — and when it comes to people, I'm endlessly curious about what they need and what they're reaching for. My purpose is to connect the dots, build the bridges, and make things better than I found them.

HOW I WORK

three things that stay constant
three things that stay constant

01

Question assumptions

The brief is a starting point, not a contract. Early website work taught me that what a client asks for and what they actually need are rarely the same thing.

02

Find the right problem

The most important finding is often the one nobody expected. Research into how people build and leverage networks taught me that surface behavior almost always points to something deeper worth solving.

03

Listen closely to what's not working

Friction is data. Across every project — from SaaS interfaces to community programs — the complaints, the workarounds, the things people do instead have always pointed to the real brief.
