About

C.V.
Bandcamp
From 2017 to 2023, I worked at Bandcamp, an online marketplace for people who love independent music to equitably support the artists who make it. During my six and a half years there, I worked as Director of Design for Artists and Labels, Interim Head of Design, and Senior Designer. At Bandcamp, I found my voice as a confident, caring, effective leader and learned to bring my whole self to my work.
Leadership, user experience design, systems thinking
Flower Press
In 2019, I formed Flower Press, an equitable publishing practice centering historically marginalized authors and practitioners. Flower Press began as a radical experiment, taking as its premise the supposition that given the opportunity, artists and publishers can exist in a mutually sustaining and beneficial relationship. This is evidenced by the press’ provision of no-cost services, equitable cost and profit-sharing practices, and championing of emerging artists.
Publishing, visual design, brand
Google Play
I led user experience design for significant efforts with broad impact in the Play Store and often across the Play ecosystem. These efforts included a full-scale redesign of the Play Store, a family-focused Play Store experience, an optimized experience for users with low data access, and design for users with physical or cognitive Accessibility needs, art direction for several global marketing campaigns, and rigorous primary design research.
User experience design, Accessibility, research
Homeboat
Homeboat is a design collective focused on creative community engagement, radical architecture, ethical design, and really good times. With friendship first and play as practice, we take on projects that promote inclusivity across geographies, socioeconomic status, and cultural backgrounds. Homeboat is dedicated to the power of diligent civic practice and neighbor-to-neighbor outreach.
Research, community engagement, event programming
Dinners
Food is a critical component of my personal practice. Over the years, I have programmed many pop-ups, one-off dinners, run grassroots organizations, community resource centers, and guerilla lunch projects all focused around breaking bread with friends and strangers.
Social practice, food, community

Take a sneak peek at some other case studies encompassing the wild and wonderful breadth of my work. Think giant bubbles, brands, pedagogical conferences, infographics, annual reports, kite festivals, pop-ups, parks, food, murals, grandmothers, solar engineering, community centers, ceramics, coffee, Cannes.
