A UX product designer currently creating joy at Microsoft, previously at Discovery Inc., RISD Design Guild, and the RISD Museum.

Early concepts, speculative pitches, and exploratory prototypes define a large part of my work. Some of these 0→1 vision-setting ideas stay in the vault, others have evolved into big projects picked up by other teams. These explorations helped shape direction and inspire cross-functional momentum. One such example is Dev Home which started as a couple screens and prototpes and evolved into a whole team taking over the effort.
