Humanity-centered designer, educator, strategist, founder and author with deep expertise developing information-rich products, services and communications.

I teach collaborative research methods for identifying barriers to access and strategic design methods for recognizing gaps and realizing opportunities. My courses cover UX, information architecture, visual, information, interaction and UI design alongside critical inquiry, concept and prototype development. Students learn to apply inclusive, iterative design to support ethical design practice across situations and mediums.

I am leading the new BA in design program and teaching full time at Wheaton College, Norton, MA.

My experiences include leading UX & UI research and design in the product development group at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University, establishing a pattern design practice, teaching part-time for CAMD and the graduate digital media program at Northeastern University, co-founding and leading the UX firm Nimble Partners and leading the consulting design practice at Art Technology Group (ATG, now Oracle).
