Timeline
Highlights
LUNAR Design
I spent 8 years at LUNAR, doing research and UX design for physical and digital products across a wide range of domains — education, life sciences, enterprise, automotive, consumer electronics, consumer package goods.
Everlane
I started Everlane’s research practice and developed sustainable systems to improve both the shopping experience and the clothing itself. A highlight was a research project on men and how they shop.
Omada Health
I also started Omada’s research practice … and then went on to simultaneously run Content and later a rapid prototyping team. Omada focuses on behavior change, and I’ve come to think of almost all product problems through that lens.
Salesforce
On Salesforce’s Ignite team, I helped some of the top 100 Salesforce customers with human-centered research and strategy to improve or adjust their current business strategies.
Education
BA, Sociology / Educational Theory
Marlboro required a significant undergraduate thesis. I conducted 6 months of qualitative research within a small movement of democratically run schools. This was fueled by my interest in self-directed learning and intrinsic motivation, which have continued to be deeply useful in design, research, and strategy work.
Marlboro College
MBA, Design Strategy

Our work was grounded in business modeling and included focuses on strategic foresight / futures, social enterprises, sustainability … on top of accounting, finance, et al.
