BIO
As an empathetic designer with a focus on natural interfaces, I design to imbue a feeling of ease and simplicity into even the most complex interactions. I design to contribute to a happier, more inter-connected, and sustainable world. I design to empower people to become their most capable selves.
Currently, I'm a UX Designer for Google's conversational AI, the Google Assistant. Previously, I led the UX Team at Lucid Motors where we designed an experientially profound, ultra-high performance electric vehicle, the Lucid Air. I started my design career designing vehicle interfaces and online platforms at General Motors for one of the largest vehicle fleets worldwide.
Prior to that, I studied Electrical Engineering in college while volunteering for a research-driven electrical vehicle competition called EcoCAR. I led development of a high performance electric vehicle that was way ahead of its time (before Tesla was a household name).
I also served 4 years in the U.S. Army. I graduated Basic Training & Advanced Signals Intelligence Training with top honors, earning multiple medals and special assignments within the NSA. I trained and worked as a Cryptologist with a Top Secret security clearance and was awarded by the CIA for... well, I really can't say.
