ABOUT

I'm a single mom to a five-year-old, and we kick around the East Bay celebrating the seasons, not that the Bay Area really gets those. But we try.

I am in constant awe of my daughter and her courage, creativity and kindness. Nurturing has always been important to me and I approach team development with many of the same values. I prepare the environment, support each person's skills, and trust them to grow into it. I lead like I parent, from a real belief in every individual, and my job is to give those around me the independence to do their best work.

In my spare time, I build things. Literally. I've built furniture, tiled a bathroom, and I'm always mid-renovation. I love making a house a home, thinking through the experiential details, whether that's hosting a creative dinner party or designing a service for customers. It's the same instinct, just different materials.

Executive & Mom

I've spent my career pointing technology at missions that matter, from education and cancer genomics to chronic pain and the built world.

I trained as an architect and built real work across three states before studying architecture at MIT, where I changed careers into tech. I stayed on to direct a lab at the Media Lab, landing the sponsorships that paid for the science.

Since then I've been building: cardiology wearables at Quanttus (backed by Khosla Ventures, where I'm a named inventor on a patent filing); the digital product and design function at Foundation Medicine, through its acquisition by Roche; the design practice at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative as its senior-most design leader; and digital and industrial design across Hinge Health's hypergrowth, through its IPO.

Today I lead Experience Design and Product for Autodesk's $1B+ digital direct business, spanning e-commerce, agentic commerce, AI monetization, and a third-party marketplace. The throughline is simple: make buying and adopting as considered as the products themselves, so the architects and makers who build the world get to their best work faster.
