About
20+ years of research and design practice spanning government digital services, regulated B2B enterprise, and professional services. I build practices, invent tools, and deliver work that holds up long after the engagement ends.
- HCD Lead and Senior Product Designer at Coforma, building human-centered design practices for federal agencies
- 8 years as design lead and sole designer at a B2B enterprise SaaS company in IP and trademark law
- Co-inventor, US Design Patent US D819066 — Corsearch FOCUS™ trademark data visualization (2018)
- 2024 Coforma Approach Matters Award — recognized for the most thoughtful, inclusive, and ethical approach to work
- Two-time Corsearch NYC regional award winner for greatest individual contribution to the company’s strategic and financial goals
Why Envelopepusher?
The name is literal. I spent years at a direct marketing agency pushing hundreds of envelopes daily, running loyalty programs for American Express, Crown Royal, and Johnnie Walker. These days the pushing is more figurative: advocating for research-driven, human-centered design and building the infrastructure that makes it last.
