I grew up on a farm between a Scandinavian design studio and an American machine shop, and have focused on intersections of design, technology and the natural world ever since.

Professionally, I've led UI/UX Design at Walt Disney Animation, developed the user interface for the world’s first production electric sports car at Tesla, and helped Angaza enable affordable solar lighting for 28 million people beyond the grid. Along the way, I’ve interviewed long-haul truckers for Synaptics, and taught English in Venezuela.

I studied Engineering and Animation at Dartmouth College, and earned my Masters at the University of Limerick, through research collaborations with the European Media Lab and MIT.

When not taming technology for human use, I enjoy cooking with friends, daydreaming on train rides, and walking in the woods. My last long walk led over two thousand miles through fourteen states; from Georgia to Maine along the Appalachian Trail.
