About me

A tech-savvy designer grounded in curiosity and empathy, with 10+ years of navigating web interfaces.

I’m a designer based in New York, interested in the parts of the UX experience you feel more than see.

My path here hasn’t been a linear. I moved coasts from the Bay Area to NYC to work at a WeCapture Media, building websites and spearheading social media campaigns. Somewhere along the way, the metrics mattered less to me than the people they represented, and I found my way back to product design.

In my free time, I love to create content and grew an e-commerce business entirely through organic short-form video. It taught me to let go of perfectionism, iterate fast, and listen closely to user feedback.

Next, I’m exploring how design can support memory and mental wellbeing in realm of XR. I hope to pursue a master’s in Human-Centered Design as well!
