I'm a product design lead based in the Washington DC area who's worked both sides of the spectrum — early years at places like Frog, Pentagram, and other design studios, then co-founding Ona, an international social enterprise building digital tools for NGOs and humanitarian orgs doing fieldwork worldwide.
Working at agencies and studios taught me craft and rigor. Starting Ona taught me how to earn trust from scratch, internally with my team, and externally with partners, one small project at a time, with no big name to lean on. Both shaped how I approach design now — research, strategy, and building things that work.
I like figuring out what people genuinely need, and building something that holds up once it leaves the demo.
