As a designer and researcher committed to creating positive social impact, I have a passion for solving problems. Yes, I design buildings, but more often you’ll find me designing experiences, leading research experiments, developing products, and launching companies. I believe in the power of design to build a more inclusive world.
Originally from California, I have led design research projects across the US and in Mexico, Colombia, South Korea, and the Philippines.
Fun facts:
I bicycled from Boston to San Francisco in 50 days
I speak fluent Spanish
My dog’s name is Guacamole
“As a designer I like to step back and think about solutions because sometimes you don’t have to build a building. Sometimes it’s crafting a story, it’s reframing a problem, it’s designing a system, it’s designing a toolset, it’s enabling an experience.”
