Software is a powerful force in our moment of history. Its impact depends on how people use it. Getting the right people to use the right software well, smoothly, and often is the point of my professional work.

I've worked in startups from 10-500 people in security, edtech, regtech, and NFTs.

For me, product design includes:

• Turning vague ideas into specific plans
• Sensing new problems and raising them
• Research interviews
• Analyzing usage data
• Watching users click by click
• Using high fidelity mockups to drive decisions
• Nailing down validation and edge cases to help developers finish features
• Tracking tickets, features, bugs, and epics
• Writing documentation and proposals
• Writing knowledge base articles and blog posts
• Designing marketing collateral for print and web
• Developing the brand
• Commenting on Jira tickets
• Threading properly in Slack

In my free time, I do home improvement and make interactive art across mediums including sculpture, books, games, painting, posters, and installations.
