about.
I'm a product leader and builder exploring how technology can augment human creativity and help people connect.
now
I'm currently building 0-to-1 product experiences at Yext. Day to day that means spec'ing features, running product discovery, and making sense of ambiguous problems. It's the part of the work I've always liked most.
Mostly, I'm fascinated by how technology changes the context of human behavior. How does feed design shape what we share? What happens when you shift the temporal context of media? How can data and machine learning improve engagement and retention while respecting privacy?

background
Before tech, I was a research specialist at the University of Pennsylvania, studying the neural basis of learning and memory using fMRI brain imaging. That experience shaped how I think about complex systems and human behavior.
I'm British, living in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I'm not building things, I'm cooking, reading, riding bikes, but probably parenting.
