IN GOOD COMPANY
I lead product & experience at CapShift, a platform that brings people- and planet-first investments to some of the world’s largest charitable organizations.
Think solar farms, affordable housing, forest restoration — and more. There, I tackle questions like:
Work in Progress.
How do we build and bring to market a valuable and viable product suite that maximizes social and environmental impact?
PRODUCT STRATEGY
What can user personas, client journeys, and giving preferences tell us about increasing the flow of philanthropic capital?
UX RESEARCH
How can we build an effective architecture to track, measure, and manage social impact?
DATA DESIGN
How can we build fluid interfaces that simplify complex models of social and environmental innovation to help mission-driven organizations attract capital?
PRODUCT DESIGN
…and other big ideas covered by NDAs.
PURPOSE-BUILT
I design at the intersection of human experience, social innovation, and communication — all informed by my multidisciplinary background.
In (not-too-distant) past lives, I’ve served in the role of:
Anthropologist
investigating cognitive cultural frameworks.
Researcher
evaluating social and climate innovations.
Journalist
with reporting cited in regional and national media.
