I have been thinking about about design and technology since I began helping my parents use computers back in grade school. 10 years later I graduated with a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University, still passionate about elegantly solving human problems using technology.

My career has provided me with a broad and deep background in technology, business, and user-centered design. I've written both web servers and web pages, managed both seed projects and the multi-million dollar Dreamweaver business, and successfully integrated customer research as a key part of Adobe's product development process.

Originally from San Diego, I've lived in Pittsburgh, Poughkeepsie, and Paris, but now call San Francisco my home.
