Creating simple, elegant solutions to user experience problems big and small.

I design and prototype well-organized, usable, and innovative web, mobile, and desktop user interfaces in collaboration with product and engineering teams.

In May of 2011 I completed my interaction design master's thesis project on improving museum visitor experience using a hand-held guide, which included a case study at the Carnegie Museum of Art. As a user experience intern at Google New York (summer 2010), I worked on the Google Docs mobile app, distilling features from the desktop version down to the essentials for mobile use.

Currently, I work with the Open Learning Initiative (OLI) at Carnegie Mellon University. OLI develops and hosts online academic courses that are based on, and provide new feedback for, learning science. I am very excited be a part of a project that is focused on improving learning outcomes for students as well as providing high-quality education for independant learners!
