There is power in process. I design operational systems through a social justice lens.
My values
I believe systems are not neutral — they determine whose labor is recognized, whose access needs are anticipated, and who bears the risk when processes break down. For this reason, I design systems that reduce invisible labor, make decision-making explicit, and support asynchronous, remote-first work.
For mission-driven organizations, sustainable, values-aligned systems are a form of care — for staff, for communities, and for the mission itself.
Access and Care
As a disabled woman, accessibility is not an afterthought for me; it is a foundational requirement built into every workflow, tool, and handoff.
Disability justice informs my perspective on capacity, pace, and usability. I assume disability is present in every organization, whether named or not, and I aim to design systems that work across different cognitive, physical, and energy levels. This means avoiding unnecessary complexity, respecting non-linear productivity, and building processes people can realistically sustain. If a client identifies specific access needs that I can’t meet on my own, I am happy to bring in a colleague with expertise to advise or supplement my skills.
Identity and Power
Intersectional feminism and racial justice inform my approach to governance and policy development. I pay close attention to who holds information, permissions, and decision-making authority, and I design systems that support consistency, accountability, and clarity. Mapping operations also requires mapping power - whether its shared or concentrated - and understanding how that impacts process.
Transparency and Sustainability
Though I am a digital-first solutions engineer, I take an ethical, cautious approach to technology. My work is AI-free by default and grounded in transparency, data minimization, and security. I build systems teams can understand, maintain, and own — without reliance on opaque tools or extractive practices. I have a certification in Cybersecurity from the Digital Defense Fund, which focuses on digital security for NGOs, human rights, and social change organizations. I am always thinking about risk when I develop your systems, policies, and processes, and advancing my education in cybersecurity to help maintain privacy for marginalized communities and activists.
