I was previously an Engineer for the Department of Defense Naval Nuclear Division. I’m now a Principal User Experience Researcher, a mentor, and a startup advisor. I love what I do.

I do multi-dimensional research with a range of parallel creative skill sets, from UX/UI and market strategy to cars and music.

I’ve worked all over: unicorn startups as first/sole UXR, post-IPO startups that broke records, my own LLC, agency work, B2B and B2B2C Enterprise, and behemoths like Facebook/Meta and Dell.

I spend most of my free time hanging out with my cats and looking online at what wheels I want to buy for my car.

Here’s me at a high-level:

• Early-stage Startup Advisor

• First/Sole Researcher at Karat

• Lead Senior Researcher at Meta, Dell EMC Isilon, USAA, Impinj, and various creative agencies

• Founder of Learn UX Seattle, a large-scale virtual and in-person learning events for 3,500+ member

• Educator and Mentor for junior UX professionals and institutions such as UW, ASU, Seattle School of Visual Concepts, and General Assembly

• Naval Nuclear Engineer for the DoD
