In leadership roles at companies like DuckDuckGo and the Mozilla Foundation, I’ve focused on education, research, technology, and activism, to make the web a safer place and tech more inclusive.
As a Design Director, my focus is on new product development and building design teams. This has also allowed me to lead workshops and field research in India, Indonesia, EU and US and contribute to initiatives like Smashing Magazine’s Ethical Design Handbook and Operator Exchange.
