About
Executive. Developer. Operator.
I'm CEO and co-founder of Kief Studio, a technology studio I run alongside my co-founder and spouse, Brian Gagne (CTO). We've been building together since 2012 — the partnership predates the entity by a decade.
My work sits at the intersection of engineering and behavioral science. Credentials in marketing psychology, consumer behavior, and positive psychology shape how I read customers, build products, and communicate. The code and the people questions aren't separate tracks — they're the same discipline.
