Do good design.
Make trouble.

I’m an interdisciplinary designer who cares deeply about the impact my work has on the people who use it, the people I build it with, and the larger world.

Career Highlights

I’m currently Staff Product Designer on the Design Platform team at Squarespace. 

Past adventures include:

  • A grid of UI elements

    Leading the design of Stitch Fix’s consumer-facing design system, taking it from a Sketch sticker sheet, to a robust, multiplatform system, founding a team to continue its growth.

  • A photo of me posing in a rubber Mule mask

    Being an alum of Mule Design, where I got to work with organizations like Stanford, Cornell, and the Wikimedia Foundation.

  • An assortment of queer design club social posts

    Co-founding Queer Design Club, an online community for LGBTQ+ people in design that now boasts nearly 3,000 members in its Slack and over 1,100 professionals in its talent directory.

  • Pages from the first read-out from the Queer Design Count

    Launching the inaugural Queer Design Count, a field-wide research project looking at the queer experience in design.

  • A spread of safer sex education materials

    Designing HIV/AIDS outreach and education materials used internationally.

  • A photo of the conference hall at AIDS2016
