The double diamond is a design methodology established by the Design Council in 2004, and has become a common framework for describing the design process. I am comfortable with skill sets across all phases of the diamond diamond, with deeper competencies in specific areas.

Experience

There are many other frameworks around design and innovation. I am comfortable with Design Thinking, Lean UX, and Design Sprints frameworks. I have facilitated and participated in dozens of workshops around those frameworks with clients and at conferences, including at Boston’s Connected Health Conference in 2018 and Learn Launch in 2020.

Prior to pivoting into user experience design and strategy, I worked in the architecture industry for several years at Design Lab and Bruner Cott in the Boston area. Other firms I worked at are ZGF in Seattle and Ziger Snead in Baltimore. My experience creating spaces for people taught me the value of human-centered design and system-level thinking.
