I design because

I give a damn.

Mission

Throughout my career, I've dedicated myself to using the tools of product and design to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. I encourage my teams to stay focused on the impact of their work, ensuring they reach their highest potential. I find immense joy in leading creative teams that positively impact others, and I'm constantly inspired by opportunities to uplift those around me.

“ I foster creativity that generates impactful outcomes. I’m on a mission to build psychologically safe environments that inspire teams to make big bets.”

At present I champion a powerfully talented team at Hinge Health who work passionately on helping reduce our member’s MSK pain. Previously I was the head of design for the Education vertical at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and built the design practice at Foundation Medicine, leading a team who designed for one of the world's biggest problems, cancer. Supporting others to tackle big problems that matter is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

The Work

I lead creative teams that help people. With 15+ years of experience in design and product I have shaped, built, and launched products in healthcare, education, and consumer services. These products have helped millions of cardiology, oncology, and musculoskeletal patients. Specifically I specialize in:

  • Helping early stage companies define product strategy with an emphasis on early product market fit.

  • Designing, launching, and learning from product beta programs & MVPs, specifically rapid prototyping and user testing.

  • Market sizing and segmentation to inform product positioning and Go-To-Market.

  • High-quality, engaging, and accessible in particular for complex or data drive use cases.

  • Creating consumer-grade user and patient experiences while navigating complex regulatory requirements

  • Maturing product and design functions, keeping teams focused on high impact contributions in rapidly changing environments

  • Building and leading product and design operation functions that streamline ways of working and scale lean environments.

I am inspired by opportunities that help others and I challenge friends and colleagues to do the same.
