Technology Founder & CTO
I build solutions to help women improve their health decisions. After 20 years advising leaders, engineering systems, and building communities, I now focus on helping women and their families understand their health information and make confident choices.

Founder & CTO, Huddle
More health information is being captured than ever. Yet people, especially millennial women, can't determine their own health in ways that change how they live. This gap is an interpretation problem caused by poor access and design, and it's costing people their agency. The data exists, and there is plenty of content.
I'm building the bridge to make our data and health work for us.
Critical health information is locked inside clinical systems and isn't reaching us in ways we can use it.
Electronic health records and wellness tools exist in separate worlds. Neither solution speaks the language of the woman in the middle. She deserves both.
Focus groups, storybuilding through conversation, design sprints, and usability testing alongside millennial women, building from shared understanding up.

Gatherings
Huddle is an aligned collective of engineers, designers, and consultants who transform women's health knowledge into high-quality health-tech products.
We begin with the ritual of gathering and listening to the right people in the right setting to foster honest conversations.
Building Methodology
Each gathering is an episode of discovery. Focused conversation, a collaborative session, a shared meal, and the kind of candor and ideas that surface only in the rooms we're building.
Through deliberate methodology, conversations are documented by visual and written note-taking. Patterns emerge. A shared understanding forms, and that understanding becomes the foundation of every design decision.
Together, we define what matters.
I call on my experience designing events that bring people together with intention, applying it directly to the work of building toward Huddle.
This approach is grounded in structured collaboration and advocacy in practice, listening, defining with clarity, and building the outcome that intentionally reflects the lives and needs of the people it is designed to serve.
Currently, I am excited to focus on a Calm Technology project to create a beautiful, integrated software-and-hardware design for everyday wear and for improved insight into our hormones.
