Experience

UX Design Consultant, Center for Open Science
cos.io  |  Virginia & SF Bay Area  |  Apr 2018 – Present

COS hired me to help with a full UI/UX redesign of their flagship product, the Open Science Framework. A full heuristics evaluation was then followed by creating design cheat sheets used for section by section prototyping, user testing, and iterating.

Design Director, Rapid Science
rapidscience.org  |  SF Bay Area & New York City  |  Dec 2013 – present

A spinoff of Cancer Commons (below), Rapid Science focuses on the researcher and clinician user group. As one of the first team members, my responsibility is to prototype and design apps to foster scientific collaboration.

Design Co-Founder, CeeTOC
ceetoc.com  |  San Francisco  |  Feb 2017 – Oct 2021

CeeTOC builds productivity and collaboration tools for problem-solving healthcare providers. Our mission is to replicate existing behavior within our apps, capturing learnings and building better treatment options.

Design Director, Cancer Commons
cancercommons.org  |  SF Bay Area  |  May 2013 – Mar 2016

I moved to California to join Cancer Commons, a nonprofit dedicated to helping cancer patients find the best possible treatments. My role was to design patient-friendly interfaces for a suite of desktop and tablet apps. The majority of my duties focused on prototyping and UI design, but also included the website and various other digital and print collateral.

Creative Director, Faculty of 1000 & The Scientist
f1000.com & the-scientist.com |  London & New York City  |  Jul 2010 – Apr 2013

My time was split between two publications in London and NYC. I led a rebrand/redesign of the London-based F1000 website and the NYC-based The Scientist magazine. My primary objective was to unify the reader’s experience between the two, in digital and print. The Scientist received several Eddie & Ozzie awards for full issues, single articles, and the website.

Creative Director, The New York Academy of Sciences
nyas.org  |  New York City  |  Jun 2003 – Jun 2010

I was the first Creative Director in the member organization’s 200 year history. I led a team of designers and media producers to disseminate the org’s content, including one of the first science podcasts available on iTunes. I updated and unified the branding, oversaw two site redesigns – winning a 2005 Webby Award – and art directed the magazine and science journal.
