About Me
@ Sutter Health Design + Innovation Lab
Annoyingly Collaborative Heads down time is great, but the best solutions take well oiled teams bringing their myriad skills to the table. That means offering my soft skills of deep listening, compassion, and flexibility in combination with impeccable craft. As a designer, it also means empathizing, uncovering pain-points, and being a constant champion of the user’s interests and needs. Now is a good time to work together.
Joy From micro interactions that make you smile to experiences of entire services or systems that are easy and exciting to navigate, design has the power to make life more joyful and inspiring. Let’s make now a good time!
Big Impact Now is a good time to tackle big opportunities at scale. How might we build a healthier food system for all? How might we create a true healthcare system, not just an illness-prevention system? How can technology help us build tools for first responders to fight climate change? These are challenges I’ve been tackling over the past 15 years and continue to drive me to be a better designer and human.
What big ideas are you working on? How can I help?
Now's a good time.
Before becoming an interaction designer, I cofounded and ran a nonprofit food production and distribution center. My team would often come to my office wanting to chat about a challenge or new opportunity. They’d peek in and ask, “Hey, is now a good time?” hoping to catch a quick bit of feedback. Eventually I hung a sign on my door that said 'Now’s a good time!' This phrase continues to capture the essence of my working style.
Now's a good time means...

Analog Jukebox
The Analogue Jukebox is a project that combines my passion for music with a desire to practice three-dimensional interactive prototyping. As a musician and interaction designer, I sought to create a physical experience that could merge the digital music creation process with the tangible, visceral joy of creating music in a way that anybody could participate in, regardless of their musical expertise. The process was a historical exploration of partially-automated music devices from player pianos through the jukebox to modern digital composition.
