About
I'm a designer with 15 years of experience building products across games, audio, social, and journalism. I'm currently a Staff Product Designer at The Mind Company, building Spark — a game you can learn something from. Before that, I led the biggest redesign of The New York Times app since 2008, was a design lead for Twitter Spaces, and helped shape the brand and design at Dots, the indie studio behind Two Dots, the #1 mobile game in over 100 countries. My work has been recognized with a Fast Company Innovation by Design award, three Webby Awards for Two Dots — Games, 2016, Best Visual Design Aesthetic, 2017, and Best Game Design, 2018 — and Apple Editors' Choice for both Two Dots and Spark.
