I design digital experiences that make complex systems feel natural. 20+ years building products that help people explore connections and meanings through interactive design:
- Created In Other Words & OtherWordly (idea-linking word games), securing $295K NSF SBIR funding for AI/ML integration
- Pioneered SpicyNodes & WikiNodes (organic visualization platforms) with 415K users and 100K+ iOS downloads
- Launched time.gov at NIST through novel interagency collaboration
- Led teams of engineers, artists, and writers to build products that reached millions
Seeking product leadership roles where I can apply my experience in game mechanics, information design, or visualization. Strong background in taking products from concept to market with innovative UX that transforms complex information into engaging experiences.
