I design software for the people who hold communities together: volunteer coordinators, youth programme leads, small nonprofits. Nine years in product design, the last four running a small studio in Chicago. I mentor two or three early-career designers at a time and host a monthly portfolio night at Crescent Community Center. If you are building something for organisers, or you are a designer trying to find your footing, say hello.
