Most recently, I was a Senior Product Designer at Retool and GitHub. I focused on making powerful software intuitive and human, without lowering the ceiling for what people can do. Some of my work was open source*.
I've also collaborated on new consumer products, and I teach interaction design at Parsons School of Design.
Before all of this, I spent some time at Upstatement and Ronik, led the crew at Scout, and graduated from Northeastern†.
I grew up in the ‘burbs of New York‡, make a lot of self deprecating jokes§, and I'm notorious for being average at a thousand hobbies—most recently piano bass, mini Monday Tuesday crossword puzzles, knitting painting, and journaling writing.¶

So is this. And it was built by moi.
†Here's my resume if you need it.
‡Long Island, specifically. At least it's not Jersey.
§I didn't get away with these as well as I'd liked on the West Coast.
