And I make desserts.
Engineer, entrepreneur, educator, designer, baker...
any way you slice it, what inspires me is working with extraordinary people and wrestling wicked problems.
I'm a Principal Designer at frog in San Francisco and Chief Creative Officer of 501(c)3 nonprofit Switchboard. I received a Master of Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008.
