WORK

I’ve had a wonderful, thrilling career so far and I kind of always feel like I’m just getting started. Right now, I am designer and researcher for a small research center at Harvard. Before that, I was a PhD student and instructor at the University of Washington. Before that, I designed experiences for science museums. And before THAT, I worked as a web developer for Duke University, a web agency, and a couple of smallish businesses.

Years ago, I read the Annie Dillard quote, “How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing.” That quote reflects my relationship with work. It’s one of the most important and rewarding things I do with my life. It’s a place I spend most of my time, where I learn and grow, connect with others, and find meaning.
