About me
I grew up in Centralia, Illinois, a small town in corn country. I graduated from Stanford with a degree in design and urban history.
After college, I lived abroad in Malaysia on a Fulbright and made a short film (staging a durian-eating contest in the process).
I lived in New York City for several years—and have the Strand tote bag to prove it.
Beginning in 2012, I taught myself to code.
I began my software development career at a non-profit and worked on the growth team at Zendesk for over 8 years. Currently, I’m learning Python and GIS and experimenting with design tooling at the intersection of craft and automation (to the extent that that’s not an oxymoron!)
I live in San Francisco.
