Unsustainable technical infrastructure
Lack of robust user research
Poor product management practices
Siloed teams who don’t know how to work well together
These all prevent you from delivering on your promises, and the cost compounds the longer you wait.

So you’ve been told your project needs to be “accessibility compliant”? What does that even mean? Should your team be doing more?
If designers should know how their product may be engineered, they should also know how it may be productized.

What's one thing that you're passionate about outside of work?
Food deserts and hunger. My mom started a food bank when I was very young, and my sister and I spent a lot of time there when we were children. Each year, the week before Thanksgiving, our whole family would spend hours packing boxes full of food and organizing freezing cold Turkeys to give out to families in need. My parents always wanted us to know how fortunate we were to have everything that we needed and reminded us that when you have what you need, you should look around to see if there are ways that you can help others. One of the largest and most invisible issues plaguing the United States today is how many people don’t have access to food monetarily or geographically. Outside of work I like to work on projects in and around DC, working on eliminating food deserts, including being a member of the DC Food Policy Council’s Working Group on Food Equity, Access, and Health & Nutrition Education.
Finish this sentence, I believe technology can solve __________.
Nothing, at least not alone. I believe that people, and the extent to which they are able to tap into empathy, determine what can be solved. We are all incredibly fortunate to be living in a time when we have technology as a tool to solve some of the biggest challenges societies and humanity face. Whether it is monitoring water quality using internet-connected devices, connecting grandparents and grandchildren over video-conferencing software during a pandemic, or even the use of money transfer apps that allow people working in cash-based economies to continue to work as we transition to a more cashless society. Our ability to solve big problems is reliant on our ability to remain closely connected to the most empathetic parts of ourselves.
What's your everyday superpower?
Quickly thinking ten steps ahead. This is also sometimes my weakness but I do my best to orient it as a strength. In most situations, my brain can begin to think through multiple scenarios of how an experience may play out. Of course, I have to be careful about the possibility of being certain that I will know how something will turn out rather than framing it as just a possibility that needs to be validated. As a mom, this superpower is great because I can better anticipate when my son is going to do something wild or crazy, and as a PM this provides me with a set of questions that allow me to dig deep into user needs and requirements with stakeholders, design, and engineering.
