I’m a product designer based in San Francisco, Calif. I work at Ning, where I design features used by millions of people every day. Ning’s platform allows anyway to easily build their own social network or community. I’ve been a product manager at Ning since 2009, and I’ve worked on hundreds of features in that time.

Though I don’t have any formal training, I am proficient in HTML & CSS — I designed and coded the beautiful site you’re looking at right now — and I dabble in PHP and Javascript. Mostly, though, I love building interfaces and interactions for easy and fun-to-use web applications. Outside of my day job, I’ve taken on some freelance projects, like redesigning Snowpals.org, and designing and managing the SV4Obama Newsletter.

Aside from technology, I’m a lifelong fan of Giants baseball, and a slightly less-than-lifelong fan of urban design, journalism and traveling (especially via Couchsurfing). I’m a passionate advocate for cities, and better transportation in and around them, like California’s high-speed rail project.
