ABOUT

I am a  UX researcher, strategist, and facilitator living in New York.

 

I hold an MBA, with specialties in Organizational Development and Strategy, from MIT and a BA in Public Policy and American Institutions from Brown University. I've received additional training in design thinking and innovation from the University of Tokyo, Komaba Todai.

I worked in academic research at NYU and Columbia University and in health and wellness at Unjani, Amplio, and Mettle AI. I worked in SaaS with Alchavo.com and my own startup Womxn Rank. I use design to solve complex problems, help organizations understand their users and themselves, and -- hopefully-- build a more inclusive world one card sort at a time.

As a UX researcher and human-centered designer, I  ensure everyone has a seat at the table, everyone has a chance to speak, and that we, responsibly, document it all.  

As a UX Researcher, I ask: 
Have we listened enough? 
Have we looked deeply?

Do we understand?
Have we documented all the truths- even the uncomfortable ones? 
Who is being counted?  Who is not?
Who is still waiting to be asked to speak?

 

And as a researcher, it is my privilege to hold the door open and invite them in.
