About Me

I have built my career collaborating with cross-functional teams designing human-centered products and services from research and insight generation to concept and delivery. As a freelance Lead Product Designer out of the Data to AI Lab at MIT, I solve some of the most complex problems in AI and ML. I have spent 14+ years conducting qualitative and quantitative research in 80+ countries. One of my more recent research opportunities was on a project out of Stanford University. I was part of a team of researchers responsible for researching and designing Daemo - a self-governed crowdsourcing marketplace. A generalist at heart, I got into product design and product management because I enjoy people, engineering, business, and design. I’ve worked on a range of problem areas — including healthcare, AI, ML, social impact, education, and cyber.
