I work with small teams and creatives defining product, data, and content strategies. I work across entire organizations and with stakeholders like clients, users, partners, and board members.

I am committed to intersectional equity and disability justice.
10 Principles of Disability Justice

I define historically excluded as:

๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿพ Black, Latinx, Indigenous, & Global South
โ™ฟ๏ธ Disabled, chronically ill
๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ LGBTQIA+

I work with:

๐Ÿ› Interdisciplinary & cross-sector (academia, government, industry, nonprofits) projects & teams
๐Ÿง™ Historically excluded founders
๐ŸŒ Social & collective good
๐Ÿ“Š Complex data
๐Ÿ”’ Privacy focused, centering user control over their own data
๐Ÿ”— API business models & apps with a data integration strategy
๐Ÿ”ฃ Machine learning (small domain specific models) & sensor research
