I’m Sean (he/him)
I’m a content strategist and product designer.
I make interactions between people and their governments easy, intuitive, and pleasant. My work is especially focused on improving these interactions for the most vulnerable and marginalized communities. I work directly with governments large and small, community organizations, advocates, and non-profits to make civic participation easier for all.
My toolkit includes plain language, information design, information architecture, nudge theory, UX research and design, and an understanding of the law. In my current role at Center for Civic Design, I bring all these skills together while wearing my product manager and project manager hats to make voting easier for everybody.
I earned my bachelor’s in linguistics at UC Santa Cruz and my master’s in forensic linguistics at Hofstra University.
In a past life, I worked for over a decade in the bicycle industry as a shop manager and mechanic.
When I’m not working, I’m usually mountain biking, enjoying a home-cooked meal, or endlessly spoiling my 2 cats.
