I am a design technologist in Amsterdam, and I work across research, design, and development. Feel free to reach out to discuss a topic, collaborate, or for a coffee.
I'm from Chicago. I grew up in a vibrantly multicultural environment, bouncing between Chicago, San Francisco, and Taipei.
I studied architecture and human-computer interaction University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and had studied abroad at Tongji University in Shanghai, China. During university, I was involved with Design For America, an organization that advocates human-centered design for tackling social problems.
I was a designer at Booking.com for one and a half years, where I worked on conversational interfaces and product expansion. Currently, I consult for various startups.
A design technologist is also known as a full-stack designer. I have a strong technical and non-technical skillset centered on design but also reaching across research and development.
In collaborative environments, I work in a deeply-integrated manner with researchers and engineers. In more independent settings, I am capable of flexing between the three domains.
I offer freelance and consulting services to help you achieve your goals.
I offer pro bono and flexible rate services for non-profits working on causes I support.
Are you in Amsterdam? I love meeting new people. Let's get a coffee and talk!
