Principal User Researcher

NGO / Public Service

I strive to sustain a user-centric vision at every level of the organization. I believe that much of my work is about having the right conversation with the right people. I have 15 years of experience planning, implementing and shipping large cross-channel, cross-domain publishing platforms. I love coaching junior designers and front-end developers, and building relationships across departments. I come to work to make a difference; I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty--I approach projects conceptually as well as tactically. I like to think big and have both the motivation and technical skills to help build experiences that ultimately simplify other people’s lives.
