My interests revolve around design and psychology. After earning my PhD in cognitive psychology, I taught my course on data vis at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, while advising a number of machine-learning startups. Eventually I joined MIT-spinoff Tamr, where I led design to address issues in large scale data unification and curation.

I now live in the midwest, where I occasionally write about psychology, software and design. I currently lead the UX for data modeling at Tableau, which acquired MIT-spinoff Empirical Systems, for which I also served as an advisor. On occasion I consult for start-ups and early-stage companies in the data space.
