I'm a UX designer with five years of experience designing operator-facing interfaces for U.S. Army air and missile defense programs at Northrop Grumman, including IBCS — the Army's primary command-and-control platform for air and missile defense. I specialize in making complex, high-stakes workflows clearer and less demanding for the people who depend on them.

Northrop Grumman
IBCS (Integrated Battle Command System)
Command-and-control systems are only as effective as the operators using them. I worked as a UX designer on IBCS — the U.S. Army's primary air and missile defense platform — modernizing a legacy operator interface to current standards and reducing cognitive load for Warfighters working in high-stakes, time-critical environments.
Northrop Grumman
Short Range Air Defense Program
Adapting a complex defense interface for tablet introduced two simultaneous challenges: fitting dense operational data onto a smaller screen, and redesigning interactions for touch in field conditions. I led the UX work to transition a legacy short-range air defense interface from desktop to tablet deployment.
UXD Experience Studio - Spring 2018
Sponsor: Crema Labs
Our team partnered with Crema Labs to design String — a conceptual mobile platform for discovering and sharing curated local experiences in cities around the world. I served as project lead, guiding the team through a full research-to-prototype process.
UXD Learning Studio - Spring 2017
Mixed Reality Service Design
Children ages 8–12 experience a well-documented drop in reading engagement known as the "fourth-grade slump." Our team designed a Microsoft HoloLens application for public libraries that makes discovering books more engaging and intuitive for kids who have stopped finding them interesting.
Ford UX Research
