Product and design strategy leader with 12+ years of experience building technology that serves real communities across social tech, civic tech, government, and media.


I’m a Managing Director at New_ Public, responsible for identifying our next major bets: turning emerging ideas and technologies into strategies and building the operational model to make innovation repeatable, sustainable, and scalable.

Previously, I led our Local Lab from inception to lift-off, building the team that built Roundabout; stood up our international product partnership, the Public Spaces Incubator; served on the board of Technologists for the Public Good; and led design and digital transformation initiatives for the public sector at Nava PBC and Accenture.

I have built product teams from scratch, personally led qualitative and quantitative research, facilitated multi-day international workshops, and designed experiences across multiple channels and touch points.

I'm strongest where product strategy, design, research, and policy converge, especially in regulated or high-trust environments where the stakes of getting it wrong are real.


🧩 Some of my work is confidential, but you can review case studies of my favorite projects on the Portfolio page.

✍️ I also write around the web about prototyping, service design, data, and procurement, among other things.
