Design, if applied appropriately, can be a catalyst for social good. My expertise is innovating within largely “bureaucratic” spaces with a laser focus on social impact and civic tech. Currently, I’m designing public interest tech at Recidiviz, a criminal justice reform nonprofit. Before that, I pushed pixels at the Los Angeles Times, Census Open Innovation Labs, Mapbox, EchoUser (a small UX firm), Airbel Impact Lab, International Rescue Committee, Almost Fun SAT, Coding it Forward, Pivot to Civic, and more. Let’s talk about design, live music photography, woodworking, plants, funky basslines, and everything in-between!
