About Me
I’ve helped individuals, teams, and large organizations ask better questions, simplify and clarify their strategy, and adopt a more empirical, hypothesis-driven approach to work.
I draw on 15 years of experience in UX and usability and two decades of experience in behavioral science. I have worn many hats in my career, from a decade of work as a UX Researcher and Designer, a Sr. Internal Consultant, a Coach and Trainer, to more recent work in narrative strategy.
I have a PhD in Human Factors Engineering and a Master’s in Experimental Psychology. In academia I used to teach Advanced Research, Statistics, and Psychology. I have trained in Sandler, am certified in Decision Quality by Stanford, in Strategic Negotiation by Oblinger and Tsang, in metaphor work by Mark Andreas, and in nonverbal communication and facilitation by Michael Grinder and Associates.
