What I Do.

things I'm good at —

Good design shouldn't be a luxury reserved for brands with budgets.

I'm an experience designer, educator, and UX consultant with deep roots in both commercial product work and community-driven pro-bono practice. My clients have ranged from global consumer brands to grassroots conservation orgs, and I believe both deserve the same quality of craft.

The organizations doing the hardest work — protecting animals, preserving habitat, serving underserved communities — often have the least design support. Skullseed exists as a vehicle to change that.

Interactive design for one and all!
