About me

I lead DAPTA, a climate-focussed design studio. DAPTA helps public and industry organizations use data to understand climate risks, prepare communities, and protect our environment.

Previously, as a Sr. UX designer on the Climate team at Element 84, I worked on complex web applications for climate change adaptation, climate finance, water management, election violence, electoral redistricting, and hyperspectral satellite imaging.

Depending on the project, my role might involve research, strategy, design, frontend development, and evaluation.

In the past I worked as a designer and creative technologist on emerging technology projects for academic labs and corporate innovation teams.

By the way: I'm also an artist. Most other sections of this website are dedicated to that practice.
