Accelerating discovery with care.
I work with people building ambitious things in health and science.
For 15 years, I have worked across product, design, research, scientific infrastructure, open science, and bioethics—helping teams understand difficult problems and turning them into solutions that address real unmet needs.
I work on things that don't have obvious answers yet.
I am most useful at the beginning of something new: when the problem is fresh, the possibilities are still open, and a team needs to understand what it should build before racing toward an answer.
I help teams figure out what they are building, who it's for, how it should work, and what needs to happen next.
My work moves between strategy, research, product, and design. I talk to the people closest to the problem, make complicated things legible, and help teams turn what they learn into decisions.
Fifteen years building across health and science.
I spent six years at the NIH All of Us Research Program, helping build products and research infrastructure for one of the world's most ambitious biomedical research programs. I led a 30+ person UX organization working across researcher and participant experiences, including work supporting the Researcher Workbench.
I have also worked across digital health, cancer care, government, clinical research, scientific software, and open-source communities.
Over the years, my questions got bigger.
Not only:
How can we make this work?
But:
- Who should shape it?
- What should it optimize for?
- Whose knowledge counts?
- What are we choosing?
- Who lives with the consequences?
Those questions brought me deeper into bioethics.
And they led me to something I am now building.
Bioethics Practice Group
Bioethics Practice Group is an independent organization dedicated to strengthening the practice of bioethics wherever consequential questions about health, medicine, science, care, technology, bodies, life, and death arise.
We bring practitioners, scholars, patients, caregivers, and communities together to learn from bioethical questions as they arise in real settings, develop people's capacity to navigate them, and make what we learn available to others.
What I am thinking about.
I write about how health and science get built—the products, research, infrastructure, people, and choices underneath it all.
I am particularly interested in what practitioners learn by doing the work, and how more of that knowledge can become useful beyond the project or organization where it originated.
Let's talk.
I am always interested in ambitious new work in health and science, people thinking seriously about bioethics in practice, and questions I haven't encountered before.
If you're building something interesting and don't quite know what it should become yet, that's usually a good place for us to start.
