Field NoteComing Soon
Could It Be Burnout?
How exhaustion becomes invisible until it can't be ignored.

Field research grounded in lived experience, shaped by doing the work itself.
I study how people experience care, rest, recovery, and connection by doing the work myself: caregiving, coordinating, building. Working from a design thinking practice, I care about building products that genuinely matter, and I turn what surfaces in the field into product direction, platform concepts, and a point of view brands can stand behind.

Caring for Our Neighbor
Care often begins before anyone uses the word caregiving.
