Educator & Design Leader
I envision a world where design is adopted and applied through a critical lens to shape emerging technologies that serve the good of society and the environment. 
I'm a distinguished design practitioner with a nomadic career spanning over two decades between academia and industry and a robust background in graphic design, interaction and user experience design, and product innovation. My journey reflects a passion for creativity, a commitment to education, and the critical exploration of the intersection between design, technology, and the human experience.
