Field Notes
A research workspace that helped a distributed climate team move from scattered interviews to shared decisions. I shaped the information model, prototype, and handoff system.
01 / Profile
Useful by design.
I help teams turn ambiguous problems into focused, accessible products. My practice moves from the first useful question to the last considered interaction, with a soft spot for tools used every day by people who do not have time to wrestle with them.
02 / Selected work
Common Ground
A plain-language onboarding journey for a community finance platform. I partnered with content and engineering to make trust visible before a user had to make a commitment.
Small Hours
A flexible planning tool for independent makers. I led the early product framing and designed a quiet weekly rhythm that supported momentum without turning work into a scoreboard.
