Hi, Bluesky!

I'm a CA-based designer with 20+ years of UX experience in a wide range of industries. I'm interested in how products, systems, and services can best meet people's needs.

I enjoy learning about accessibility and how to empower teams.

I'm an artist. I sketch landscapes and nature.
They’re getting big and stripey!! Cheering the little caterpillars on.

Over the moon that one of the struggling narrow-leaf milkweeds I planted now hosts a small group of monarch caterpillars!

I didn’t expect to get any this year, it’s my first year growing milkweed.

Caught a show last night. I love the Bay Area DIY punk scene and it’s so amazing to get to see the kids of Bay Area punks launching their own bands.

Crowd was so stoked.

Started this digital painting during my family travel last winter then forgot about it. 😅 it’s keeping me cool in the 80° heat.

Protested yesterday, planted native milkweeds today. Totally over sunned myself but worth it.

Happy No Kings Day! Here are my march-and-sketch drawings from today's San Francisco gathering. Fellow Americans, I hope your local celebration was equally lively. First, the assembly at Dolores Park... (1/3)

Thank you, @replsimon.bsky.social, for your passionate words yesterday at the Oakland march. And thank you @kpixtv.bsky.social for making the recording available. I'm thrilled to be able to share my representative's message.

These prickly pears grow all over the dunes in Indiana.

Many years ago the county mowed down a patch of them along the side of the road. I took some of the cuttings back with me, unsure if they’d survive.

They just bloomed their first bloom!

Great day at @figma.com ‘s Config today. Loved Megan Metzger’s talk on designing reliable tools for disaster situations

I planted a few native plant seeds in a spot along my sidewalk. The patch wound up mostly being weeds, but this poppy has been going like gangbusters. Nice work, little plant. #BloomScrolling

Books open the door to important conversations.

When kids read about tough topics—like identity, injustice, or mental health—talking with them builds trust, empathy, and critical thinking. Don't shy away; lean in. Your support helps them understand the world and their place in it.

Jon’s work is sooo cool! Everything is so unique. His process is very time and energy consuming but is so worth it!
This one is my favorite
