I love people, technology, and solving meaningful problems at scale through human-centered design.
As a serial entrepreneur and proven corporate leader, I drive collaboration and innovation by combining strong communication skills, humor, and thoughtful management. I create psychologically safe environments where my teams can show up as themselves to design extraordinary products and experiences that shape the company’s future.
As an accomplished speaker and lecturer, I have addressed dignitaries and industry leaders on the importance of human-centeredness, technology, design, and inclusion.
For the future of technology to truly embrace decentralization and democratization of a persistent and synchronous internet, it is imperative to anchor this vision in the pivotal inclusion of diverse voices and individuals.
I hold several patents related to blockchain, decentralization, and distributed ledgers, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and digital space/interface optimization.
Having founded my first company nearly 20 years ago from my Harvard dorm room, I earned recognition as one of America’s “Top 25 Business Leaders Under 25” by Bloomberg BusinessWeek and was honored as one of the “Best of the New” by the Boston Globe.
Presently, I lead global R&D at Kyocera, in addition to the Product Management, Product Design, Market Research, and Data Science practices.
I live in beautiful downtown Oakland, California with my husband — Benjamin — and our two dogs, Chapin and Dalton.
