About
I’ve spent my career turning ambiguity into products, brands, and experiences people care about. The work was never really about software — it’s about designing meaningful experiences, whether that’s a product, a place, or an idea shared through writing.
Today I help founders and teams through consulting, writing Field Notes, and building whatever curiosity leads me to next. Previously: Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, OpenSea, Sequoia Capital, and more.
Fun facts
I worked on a car assembly line.
College summers sealing cars, bolting seatbelts, installing ECUs — and learning a thing or two about grit.
I’ve designed holiday collections still sold today.
A handful of luxury wreaths and holiday collections for Balsam Hill in 2010 — still on shelves years later.
I’ve spent Saturdays hacking with legends.
One Saturday call put me in a room with founders of Figma, OpenSea, and OpenRouter. We made a thing called Ethmoji.
I founded a jewelry brand on the side.
Hathorway — geometric pieces in upcycled buffalo horn. One ring sold at SFMOMA and was worn by the leading lady in Netflix’s Clickbait.
I built the postpartum support I couldn’t find.
Co-founded Ritual Meals after my first pregnancy — brand, marketing, content, and code for nourishing meal delivery.
I’ve wired our entire house with my husband.
Outlets, circuits, and everything in between — side by side.
A few favorite books
You are what you eat, what you consume, what you read. Here is a peek into mine. In short, these have shaped me to be an intuitive builder, principled human, gentle with imperfection, serious about craft.
