I'm a designer based in San Francisco with experience in visual interface design, online media, interaction systems, design research, and prototyping with software and hardware. I earned an MFA in Interaction Design at California College of the Arts. My graduate thesis project examined the way technology mediates relationships between long-distance family members.
Working with renowned studio Funny Garbage, I created online portals for VH1 and the Independent Film Channel. I designed interactive touch-screen kiosks for Paul Allen’s Experience Music Project and developed prototype television interfaces for Launch Music.
I've worked on branding and marketing strategies for PlanetOut, designing everything from online banners to print campaigns and outdoor billboards. I also contribute work to social advocacy groups such as New York University’s Center for AIDS Research, the Trevor Project, and Stop Global AIDS.
