Hello, and thank you for stumbling upon my website. If you’re curious about who I am, please allow me a brief introduction.

I’ve built my career around questions. How might technology expand human capability? What makes a complex medical device feel intuitive? How can careful observation reveal possibilities that others overlook?

Those questions have shaped both my professional career and my creative practice.

I am a product executive, designer, inventor, photographer, and writer whose work spans ophthalmic technology, digital health, and the visual arts.

For more than two decades, I have worked at the intersection of clinical need, emerging technology, and human-centered design. I have held product, marketing, and design leadership positions with companies including Carl Zeiss Meditec, Topcon Healthcare, Heru, and RadiusXR. Much of my work has involved helping multidisciplinary teams develop and bring to market ophthalmic imaging systems, diagnostic software, remote-care platforms, and wearable technologies intended to make vision testing more accessible and efficient.

As Chief Product Officer at RadiusXR, I helped guide the development of a wearable platform for vision diagnostics, patient engagement, and clinical workflow. Products and organizations I have helped support have been recognized by the CES Innovation Awards and Fast Company. I am also a named inventor on several medical-device patents related to patient care, clinical workflow, and ophthalmic technology.

Today, I am President and Co-Founder of Altitude59, a product and marketing consultancy serving organizations in ophthalmology, optometry, medical technology, and digital health. My work focuses on product strategy, market positioning, brand development, and translating complex clinical technologies into experiences that are useful, understandable, and relevant to the people they serve.

Alongside my work in medical technology, I maintain an active fine-art photography practice. I earned a Bachelor of Arts from Humboldt State University and a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from San José State University. My photographic work explores how familiar subjects can be transformed through isolation, reduction, light, shadow, line, and form. My ORU kami series was selected for publication in LensWork, which featured a portfolio of 21 images and an accompanying interview.

Technology and photography may occupy different parts of my life, but both begin with the same discipline: careful observation. Whether I am helping develop a medical device or making a photograph, I am interested in how attention, simplification, and thoughtful design can reveal possibilities that might otherwise go unnoticed.

I live and work in Washington State, where I continue to divide my attention among technology, photography, writing, family, and the enduring practice of looking closely.
