About

Involve content strategy early, and include content in design systems. With a focus on user flow and content analysis, I develop content strategy for financial services and wellness products. My biggest joy is seeing a piece of conversation complete the user experience at a certain moment, whether a customer is searching for gifts or arranging a payment. Language is the core of human communication. I help purpose-driven organizations build consistent narrative to make people’s lives easier.
