Profile

I am a designer and visual storyteller. I am currently working as a Digital Product Design Manager at Ford, where I'm leading teams to create mobile/web products for cutting edge mobility subscription services.

My work focuses on delivering connected services to better customers' lives or creating immersive storyworlds to transport their imagination. My background is in interactive storytelling and mixed reality. My work has been exhibited broadly, most notably at the Guggenheim Museum, CES, the Getty Center, the UN World Urban Forum, and the CHI 2018 Showcase - where I won “Best Design Study”.

I hold a Ph.D. in Media Arts + Practice (MAP) from the University of Southern California (USC) and a M.F.A. in Digital Arts and New Media (DANM) from UC Santa Cruz. Before Ford and IDEO, I worked for Intel’s Global Production Lab and the Google News Lab’s R&D group.
