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.
