About Me

With experience leading product strategy, design and research at growing startups and on Fortune 500 innovation teams — and a background in ethnographic research — I'm passionate about designing, building and scaling digital products that solve people's problems to positively impact our future. Previously, I led product strategy at the forefront of the emerging mobility space as the Sr Product Designer (and acting Product Manager) for Goodyear's digital services innovation lab in San Francisco. In my over two-year tenure, I drove research and design for AndGo – a predictive maintenance platform for autonomous and rideshare fleets — from initial user interviews through to launch at CES 2020, before leaving to work on Fall 2020 electoral campaigns. Born and raised in the Berkeley area, I’m also deeply passionate about my East Bay community. In my spare time, I work to empower local arts initiatives through my work as Chair of the El Cerrito Arts and Culture Commission, and to accelerate climate action and sustainable policies as a Board member for 350 Bay Area Action. I also love to play around with music, ceramic art and printmaking. Please don't hesitate to get in touch! I love to chat about design strategy, innovation and applied anthropology, and to meet new people in clean energy, mobility, urbanism and policy advocacy to work together to make the future of our communities better for all of us.
