Building at the intersection of anthropology, technology & design
Digital Anthropologist with a passion for creating thoughtful digital experiences. I combine my educational roots of Anthropology with a background that spans tech sales, engineering, and design — giving me a unique perspective on how people interact with the things we build.
I believe the best work happens when technical skill meets creative intuition.
