Hello, I’m Elizabeth
As a design researcher, I partner with interdisciplinary teams to reimagine systems. Identifying community assets & identify what works is central to my approach. Let’s reimagine and iterate together.
I have 15+ years of applied design, implementation, and evaluation experience, with emphasis on global health and health informatics portfolio. I consult on and lead a broad spectrum of projects, all with social justice focus. I am especially excited to co-create technologies and systems to support health equity.
