As a Partner in the Cambridge studio, I spend my time helping clients and teams grow and bring innovative products, services, and experiences to the world.

I am particularly interested in how emerging technologies help us reimagine everyday human experiences and fundamentally change how we relate to each other and to the world around us.

I started at IDEO in 2000 as an engineer and project leader in Palo Alto. After moving to Cambridge in 2005, I helped establish our Health practice, build our product design portfolio, and led the studio as a Managing Director.

I have contributed to the creation of dozens of new products and services for clients across industries, and am named on over 20 patents.

I hold a BS in Physics and Mathematics from Brandeis University, and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, where I was a researcher at the Media Lab in the Responsive Environments group. I continue to work as IDEO’s liaison to the Media Lab, collaborating and connecting our work and ideas across organizations and networks.
