Creative Technology Program Manager · Brooklyn, NY
I'm the person who makes the team better.
I speak enough of everyone's language to get design, engineering, and product pulling in the same direction. When the conversation stalls, I get the thing built so we're reacting to reality instead of documents.
Selected work
Case studies from fifteen years of turning operations around with systems thinking and working prototypes.
PrintHaus
How I took FIT's print bureau from $30K to $160K a year, and the system I'd have directed today to finish the job.
Read the case studyThe FabLab
One pitch about 3D printing, pooled budgets from small departments, and a fabrication lab for the whole school.
Read the case studySix years, three websites
On my first day at the MFA Interaction Design program, the website was down. Six years later I'd rescued the server, migrated it twice chasing accessibility, and helped set the direction for a full rebrand.

How I work
I lead like a coach: my job is making the team better. My signature move is prototype-as-persuasion: when documents and discussions stall, I get a working demonstration built and let the team react to something real.
