Thanks for visiting.

I'm a professional photographer and Contributing Photographer for Getty Images.  When I am not taking photos, I am an experienced educator, researcher, and senior interdisciplinary innovation and design leader.  My research and practice areas are highly focused on innovation, design + development practice, education, and social justice - how we consider vulnerabilities of the societies we design and build products for, and how we train and educate practitioners in these fields to be more inclusive and aware and to incorporate best practices for social justice, human rights, dignity in their practice.

In the public sector, I have over 20 years of experience in various design leadership roles from Head of UX Design and Director of Product to Founder where I have worked with Fortune 500 companies, publicly traded companies, private companies, startups, educational companies, and nonprofits and played a role in both leading and building multi-disciplinary teams to deliver simplified, elegant, value-driven innovative experiences for highly complex problems with diverse scopes. I utilize a human-centered design approach to thoroughly examine and address societal issues, working towards the promotion of social and design justice. You can learn more about my teaching, design and research here.
