Much has changed in the 30 or so years since this photo was taken, but I am still mostly eyeball!

I’m originally from the Southwestern US but these days, I live in Michigan. As the daughter of two diplomats, I grew up moving every couple of years, mostly in the Middle East. I’ve kept up the habit; prior to moving to *points to right hand at the base of the thumb meat*, I lived in Philadelphia, New York, and Thailand.

By day, I work in user research. You can read all about that here.

I’m fortunate to have talented friends; doubly so to be able to collaborate with them sometimes. You can find an example of a recent project here.

I have two substacks that I am half committed to. They are here and here. And also, you are here! What a gift.

Thanks for reading, truly. Of all the proof-of-life websites in all the towns in all the world, I’m so glad you’ve stumbled onto mine.
