HI, I’M ABBEY

With 10+ years of experience in academia and the nonprofit sector, I help global organizations design, develop, and deliver the best possible products for diverse audiences.

One of my guiding principles is “less, but better.” I’m a proactive problem solver; whether it’s identifying potential obstacles, adopting new tools, or finding creative solutions, my ultimate goal is to enable my team to achieve the most while using the fewest resources.

Away from the desk I’m usually riding a bike, baking a pie, or curating letterboxd. I grew up in Texas and Kansas and have lived in a few other places around the world, including England and Thailand.
