Co-founder of Another Day, a design practice partnering with small teams and ambitious people. I also helped start First Steps, a mentorship program for designers finding their way.
Before that, I led design teams at Goodform, Northstar, and Fieldwork.
I’ve been fortunate to collaborate as a designer, advisor, and occasionally an optimist with teams including Harbor, Morrow, Commonplace, Daybreak, Tandem, Paperplane, and many more.

Make space for the next personEssay
The best work often starts with paying attention. For this experiment, I stepped away from the obvious solution and tried something smaller. A few conversations, a rough prototype, and one careful revision made all the difference.
My takeaway: leave enough room in the process to notice what is already working. Then make that part a little clearer.
