Transdisciplinary developer & designer & founder

I am the founder of Soonlist, a tool for organizing possibilities. 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.

Iā€™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 ā€” reach out!
