I thrive inside the liminal space between art and science. To me, it's when creative and technical disciplines come together that the sparks really fly.

Maybe that's why I spent my undergrad at Brown University up late in the biology lab, sneaking into the design studios at RISD, and running the machine shop in the Engineering building. I live for the moment when multiple disciplines come together to create something never seen before.

Constantly traversing new and diverse disciplines has trained me to feel comfortable in ambiguity and new domains. In my work I take frontier technologies and transform them into products that feel magical yet are functional, usable, and understandable.

I did this first at Transcriptic — an early stage bio-tech and robotics startup where I worked as a front-end engineer and the first designer. By focusing on delivering user-friendly design grounded in first-principles, I built the company's design team and discipline. I established – among other things – a product development process grounded in user research, a design system called Amino, and a strong brand identity.

Designing, building, and shipping tools for biologists was exciting, but I wanted to understand how business intersects with design and technology. So in August 2020, I stepped away from the startup world for the MBA program at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Learning first-hand how finance, strategy, and management unlock innovation and value creation gave me the foundation to build businesses on top of emerging technology.

I've brought all of this together at Amazon where I have shipped products that at first seemed impossible or premature. Making the fantastical real is the niche where I provide the most value. My decade of multi-disciplinary experience has allowed me to bring to life new AI experiences for Alexa+, and lead the invention of a new AI-forward on-the-go consumer hardware device for Amazon's product portfolio.

And I'm just getting started.
