​

Currently, I am the Founding Principal Product Designer for Query.ai. At Query.ai we are working on solving the growing problem for security analysts, threat hunters, and incident responders, which is finding answers to security data efficiently and effectively. My goal is to create a user experience that helps security operations teams make better decisions faster using their security data where it is, without spending time and money to centralize it, creating an experience that allows them to quickly find the answers they are looking for.

 

In the recent past, I led the UX/UI design for Akamai's Cloud Security platform, which entailed seven different product lines.  This significant contribution brought the revenue from 200 million to 1.2 billion in less than seven years. 

 

I started working with Akamai in the early years (1998), working on many of the original NOCC screens to help monitor the entire Akamai network. I happily re-joined in 2012, focusing on making the Luna Control Center the best user-centered, self-service experience, working on their primary application: Property Manager.

 

My experience has been broad, from start-ups to more giant corporations such as AccuWeather, Bell Atlantic, Water Environment Federation, and Mullen, focusing on UX/UI/branding/marketing for software applications/broadcast/multimedia training/web and mobile. Although I have experience with print design, my focus has always been UX/UI design over the last 25 years. I've held many roles, from production artist/animator/developer to design director. Still, my key strengths and ongoing passions are researching and understanding the products I work on and aligning those with the users' goals/experiences.

 

I live in a working artist mill community north of Boston with several Dogues de Bordeaux, a Frenchie, and a very relaxed ragdoll cat. In my spare time, I like collecting vintage electronics and mid-century cartoons, drawing, and creating art using mixed media. I also enjoy being adventurous on hikes, kayaking/boating, and sport motorcycling.
