About
I solve problems by redesigning the content of digital services and platforms through analyzing user pain points and drop offs. On PH, I'm looking for new tools and services I'm interested in to see if their content and microcopy could use a boost. You can find out more about the work I've done on my LinkedIn profile or see it directly in my Portfolio--both linked below!

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the growth occurs while you’re climbing it.
Looking forward to hearing all my fellows grinding in startup companies
Are we relying too heavily on apps?
This is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek question Our generation (and the next) seems to rely heavily on apps for, well, just about everything. We need an app to switch on the lights and open the blinds, one to tell us if we slept well (including if we snored and spoke in our sleep), one to check if the sun is shining outside, one to help us choose an outfit, one to tell us what's available in our fridge for breakfast, one for counting the calories in said breakfast, one to time how long we brush our teeth for, one to track our morning jog, one to heat the car...And all of this before we leave the house in the mornings! Yes, yes, I know, the above description is a bit of an exaggeration, but are we using apps to "mother" us? And what would happen if we suddenly had to do without our handy little digital helpers? Would the modern human be able to cope?
How do you overcome the anxiety of working with a new tool/app/platform?
In the beginning, play around with it and have fun. Do it again some more the next day. Just give it some time, you'll understand what it does and how it works in no time! But until then, dive head first and have fun.
