I offer the deep insight you need to tackle your messiest user experience problems.
Through thoughtful information architecture, I make complex experiences easy to navigate for their users and actionable for the teams who build and manage them.
I’ve untangled the mess for organizations who were struggling to manage sprawling bodies of content, complicated software workflows, and gnarly customer service issues.
My colleagues appreciate me for the clarity I bring to these murky situations—tracing the layers of people, process, knowledge, and technology under the surface. My work provides teams with the blueprints to strategically align these elements toward a better and more manageable user experience.

Expertise
I use information architecture, UX design, and service design techniques to increase teams’ understanding and alignment on how they can improve UX/CX outcomes.
As a collaboration with you and your team, these activities cut through the “mess” to define strategic problems and solutions. Along the way, you’ll level-up your UX capabilities.

Information architecture (IA) for content-driven websites
IA is the structural design of digital environments to make it easy for customers to find and understand information. IA defines how a system will be organized and may include content models, sitemaps, and the design of navigation menus or workflows.

Experience mapping and analysis
By establishing a cross-functional, bird’s-eye view, mapping builds team confidence in how current or proposed solutions fit together and how they impact UX/CX.

User experience strategy
I advise decision-makers on how to plan, prioritize, and execute UX Design processes that drive toward meaningful outcomes.
