ClearSpend’s founding team had the vision, technical know-how, and sector expertise, but needed someone to help them bring the idea to life. From a proof-of-concept prototype to a functional product, I helped them design a product that made the expense management process simpler for small businesses.

Open Supply Hub uses open data to map global supply chains, impacting issues like greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and modern slavery. I led a UX team that made supply chain data more accessible to users around the world, and easier for people to contribute data of their own.

Springboard Collaborative reduces the literacy gap through programs and services that foster family engagement with schools. To help them find new approaches for Pre-K, I led a qualitative research study to frame potential design solutions based on the input of Pre-K families and educators.

The team at the United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County wanted more tools for centering equity in their community-based work. I was part of a team at GRID Impact who designed and facilitated a hands-on workshop series and equity-centered design toolkit.

I was part of a cross-agency team in the California state government that prototyped and launched the California Design System, a tool that makes it easy for state teams to build digital services that meet the needs of Californians.
