I’m a social scientist who has led research projects and practices within the technology industry for over 10 years, impacting strategy and product design within both big tech and the startup world.

My speciality lies in impacting complex products with multiple user types, and conducting mixed methods research to shape and de-risk emerging 0-1 products in consumer entertainment, AI, and health tech.

My work is informed by a PhD in Science and Technology Studies, and a Masters of Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University. Academically, I am an expert in the social discourses and practices surrounding computing, cognition, and mental health.

Based in the Portland, Oregon area, I spend my free time taking walks in moody forests, traveling with my husband, baking, gardening, and closely observing the behavior of my mischievous cat Hershey.
