Multidisciplinary designer with seven years of
0-1 product experience.

About Me.

While Trust and Safety Design Lead at Wikipedia I learned how to translate complex AI systems into seamless, legible user experiences that are ethically sound and accessible to a global audience. I have designed scalable solutions for seed-stage startups, and I write a newsletter on the cultural, behavioral, and societal influence of technology.
