A thing is communicated, a thing is understood.

As a content designer, I create the bridge.

 

I often say my role is to create meaning. Many times this means writing words, though usually it means collaborating with other designers, product managers, and different cross-functional stakeholders on activities like these.

 

My process embraces user research, product design, AI-integrated workflows, data analysis, and other human-centered​ and analytical​ tools. I'm currently a Staff UX Content Designer, leading our content design practice at The Washington Post.

 

My previous work includes creating digital health​ apps at Pear Therapeutics, developing clinically-validated behavior change 

treatments for addiction and insomnia.

 

Prior to that, I created voice​ and cloud-integrated features for Anki Robotics's​ home robot​, Vector. Also at Anki, I helped create Cozmo, the entertaining and educational robot who was the #1 best-selling premium toy of 2017-2018. His engaging character and impressive AI have met over 2 million faces.

Before creating robots, I designed engaging content for mobile games, including The Sims Mobile (#1 iOS & Android app), Tap Paradise Cove (top-3 grossing), and War Dragons (top-20 grossing).

I started my career in the theatre and film worlds and continue to write plays, often with some kind of tech crossover. When I'm not writing, my hobby has is photographing tiny flowers.
