Raised in the flames of late-century Flint, MI, I vowed to fight ugly interfaces and fight for access to information in all forms.
A SXSW speaker and agile enthusiast, I enjoy radical librarianship, information visualization, and specialize in making complex topics approachable.
At work, I drive UI requirements from concept to release. I define features, user flows, interfaces & error conditions.
My goal is to ship charming and trustworthy software.
