Transdisciplinary developer & designer & founder

I am the founder of Soonlist, app for organizing possibilities (App Store). I co-host the School of Art and Time, a space in Portland which cultivates creative community through workshops, events and a residency program. I also founded and ran porpoise.studio, a digital product studio focused on purposeful data communication.

In the past few years, I worked with Aclima.io through porpoise.studio to design & develop public platforms for air quality data and architect a 10x faster data visualization design & development workflow. Prior to that, I worked at CIVIC as Creative Director and Data Visualization Lead, designing, building, and creating conditions for collaboratively designed and developed public data platforms incorporating principles of Data Feminism.

I’m interested in projects that leverage technology to share and redistribute information, resources, participation, and power. If you have a project that aims to make the world more just, equitable, or sustainable — reach out!
