Hey.
Let’s talk about work.

I feel obligated to use this space to wax poetic about my design philosophy — about the experience of being a designer and seeing the world as a set of problems to solve — but, honestly, I’d rather not make your eyes roll.

Design is work. It’s work that I do well, and that I care deeply about, but it’s not the only kind of identity-defining labor that will end up on my headstone. All the other things that I do and care about in addition to design — within a corner of experience that is often just called “life,” to place it in juxtaposition to “work” — show up with me to every meeting, every workshop, every DM on Slack.

All of this is to say: I believe that work and life, especially today, are too enmeshed to be held in “balance” with one another. As I seek new projects, teams, and organizations to support through my work, I look for an embodied understanding of — and respect for — the human infrastructure that powers them, going beyond offering perks like unlimited PTO, a bounty of free snacks, or a flexible office arrangement. A culture of openness, shared accountability, and care is the most important feature I seek in my next role. And I don’t think that’s impossible to find, even in tech.

So… let’s start there, yeah? Tell me about what you're working with. Or, if I already sent an application your way, throw some time on my calendar to chat.
