Hello!

Starting with an early career and degree in gene network research, I've become obsessed with what it takes to communicate complex concepts in clear, engaging and novel ways.

I'm thinking about...

What happens to design after Design?

In the sciences, you publish your paper and there's a good chance it directly shapes what comes next in that field of research, even if that next step is 15 years in the future.

In Design, projects can flounder and die after the designer moves on. In my work for Bosch North America, I've focused on designing in a way that is transferable, attractive, and aligned with the interests of stakeholders who will be around long after our project wraps.
