I am going to be writing about the intersection of design, product development, the liberal arts, and how we can build a better designed world.

I have a lot of experience in user experience and product development. I’m currently Vice President, UX & Design at FiscalNote, an adjunct professor of human-computer interaction and user-centered design at University of Maryland, and a design mentor at RookieUp.

I will still be writing at Medium and tweeting a lot, but I wanted a space to put everything together and to put more of the connective tissue out there. A lot of my foundational writing has appeared on Medium, but Medium is not a great place for a lot of the day to day.

Expect posts of all lengths and for the thread to carry over between posts. I also really appreciate comments, feedback, and interaction.

Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue.

In the meantime, tell your friends!
