Thanks for taking a look at some of my work. I wish I could share more with you! 🎉 Most of my projects over the past 7 years have been pretty confidential, and I’m unable to put much on display. Below is a brief timeline of the types of programs I’ve either led, co-led, or have been deeply involved in developing. I’ve also selected some past programs as example case studies of how I think, build, & collaborate.

The following case studies are meant to illustrate aspects of how I collaborate. While some of the work is trending towards older, I wanted to include it as a illustration of process. In the future, as more work becomes publicly accessible, I’ll add additional sections, but for now, please take a look!
Most recently, I was a Co-founder and intrapreneur of a fitness startup within Google's bottoms-up innovation center Area 120. Here, I had the privilege of working with a small team of brilliant people to help envision ways to improve health outcomes for everyone with novel approaches to resistance training.
My first project at Fitbit (pre-aquisiton) involved helping lead the design for the original Fitbit Sense. The Sense was Fitbit's most ambitious smartwatch ever, with new ground breaking sensors and thoughtful software experiences. It also got some good reviews.
My last program at Airbnb involved researching, prototyping, piloting, and leading the early design for what became Airbnb Experirences.
I also wrote about it.
Sometimes I get asked about the tools I use. Even though I’m pixel pushing less these days, I can still get down with the business. Design is usually visual, after all. Here’s a selection of tools I spend (or have spent) considerable time using.
