I help startups, nonprofits and exec teams sharpen their strategy and up-level their design teams through mentorship, workshops and hands-on research. My preferred focus is on behavioral design as it relates to climate action and environmental equity. I've worked with many companies and orgs. Some recents include: Rewiring America, Irrational Labs, Dandelion Energy, GRID Alternatives.

Helping Google's 1 billion+ users have access to more sustainable choices.

I lecture and lead workshops on Behavioral Design for Good and Behavioral Design for Climate. Schools include: Stanford Institute of Design (the d.school), MIT's Integrated Design & Management program, Terra.do, Irrational Labs Bootcamp.

I took a year of (mostly) exploratory time. I cooked, traveled, learned more about buddhism and meditation, worked on my handstand, took up oil painting, volunteered for GOTV, spent time with loved ones.

Founding member of Opower Design team. As VP, I led a team of 30+ that owned all of the design and research for Opower’s products and brand. Design org included User Experience Design, Client Design, Brand Design and Product Research. We specialized in behavioral design: infusing behavioral science into user-centered product design to achieve outcomes that are good for our utility partners and the planet.

Over my years at Opower I played many roles, including Product Manager, UX Design Lead, UX Manager and Director. I was part of the founding research and design team for Opower's first version of energy reports, was with the company as we grew from 30 people to 800+, and helped define culture and values for the design team and the company as a whole.
