content designer/ux writer
From innovative technologies to bioscience to sharing cultural voices, I’m driven by taking complex challenges and building experiences that reach people, increase understanding, create meaning, and inspire action.
I’ve supported organizations that tackle multifaceted topics like paleontology, misinformation, community violence, medical research, and how to combat Islamophobia.
Through Psychology, UX Design, Writing, Video Production, and Content Strategy, I’m interested in interactions people have with visual language, with words, with sentence structure, with tactile object-based experiences, and more.
Professionally, I’m excited about learning what’s possible, understanding the decisions we make, and helping organizations and teams realize their amazing potential.
