Currently, I’m the Advocacy Team Lead at zeroheight. I provide guidance to designers and teams with their design systems and design operations, so they can focus on doing their very best work.  I also have a passion for mentoring and coaching people in their design careers.

My friend Mary Fran and I host a podcast, UX in Real Life, where we talk about UX both at work and in the real world. We’re on most major podcast services like Apple and Spotify. 

Operationalizing is a natural skill of mine. For over half my life, I promoted ska/punk/reggae shows, which come with a mountain of logistics! When time permits, I’ll tour manage for Pilfers, a ska/ragga-core band out of NYC. Handling all the band logistics on the road may seem like work, but I enjoy it quite a bit.

When I’m not working, I try to be outside as much as possible—hiking, camping, driving my Ford Fiesta ST, scuba diving, and striving for tree equity. If I weren’t in design/tech, I probably would have become an entomologist. I live in Oakland, CA, with my husband and cat, Henry (Rollins).
