Turning Innovation Into Deployable Products
I design and lead the development of products and systems from concept to deployment — making ideas testable, scalable, and built for real-world impact.
I work with teams building at the intersection of technology, materials, and human behavior.
IDEO
I bridge physical making with strategy — moving ideas quickly into products that translate complex systems into tangible solutions.
-
Leading interdisciplinary teams from ambiguity to execution — aligning research, product vision, and commercialization to deliver human-centered solutions that move quickly from insight to impact.
-
Framing complex technological, environmental, and social systems into clear product opportunities — translating behavioral insight into actionable roadmaps for real-world deployment.
-
Building and testing ideas early — using rapid prototyping and iterative development to turn strategy into physical, testable products built for scale.

An award-winning design transforming soft plastic waste into soil.
A modular system turning packaging waste into regenerative, everyday solutions.
I’m a designer and systems thinker focused on creating solutions that sustain.
I work at the intersection of technology, circular economy, and social innovation; creating solutions that range from citizen science tools to everyday materials.
From leading teams to launching sustainable products, I create solutions where people and nature thrive.
As seen in…
“When we collaborate with nature in design, we create solutions that ripple outward—starting with local challenges and scaling to address global crises.”
