Location: Shoreline/Seattle, WA, USA

Current/Most Recent Company/Position: Principal Design Manager, Microsoft

Background/Interest Areas/Expertise: What drives me is designing solutions for acute clinical healthcare settings as if someone I love depends on my work. The challenges we face in healthcare require a fundamentally sound design process based in thinking and making, multidisciplinary teams, and a relentless focus on understanding the people we design for at every step in the experience journey. The complex challenge of “walking in the shoes of the user” provides an opportunity for me to make a difference every day.
