Senior product designer · NASA
Connected fragmented datasets and scientific workflows into a trusted decision-support platform for exploring and acting on global emissions data.
NASA · earthdata
Unified search, navigation, and data access into a cohesive platform that helps users discover and understand Earth science data with confidence.
NOAA · Drought.gov
Reimagined Drought.gov around user needs, simplifying navigation, strengthening information architecture, and creating a scalable platform that made climate information easier to discover, understand, and act on.
civicactions · globalnet
Led the redesign of the Department of Defense’s GlobalNET platform, conducting user research and aligning developers, stakeholders, and end users around clearer product direction.
national ecological observatory network
Redesigned NEON's field site experience by organizing maps, metadata, and measurements around researchers' workflows, helping scientists quickly discover, evaluate, and compare ecological research sites.
My work sits between research, systems thinking, and interface craft. I help teams enter unfamiliar domains, make sense of competing priorities, and turn complexity into product clarity.
Research the domain
Use interviews, contextual inquiry, workshops, and synthesis to understand users, stakeholders, language, workflows, and constraints.
Shape the product system
Move from concept directions to interactive prototypes and production-ready UI that makes dense information easier to act on.
Document for adoption
Build or extend design systems, governance, documentation, and onboarding practices so teams can keep improving the product after launch.
A geologist by training, I came to design through earth science, which is probably why I’m drawn to the messy, data-rich corners of product work. I’ve spent the last decade designing tools for scientists, policymakers, and the public.
