About Me.

I'm a product designer based in New York with a background that started in graphic design and evolved into a deep interest in how people experience the products they use every day.
 

That foundation in graphic design still informs everything I do. I care about craft, typography, and the details that make an interface feel considered. But what drives me now is the full picture: understanding users, finding the right problems to solve, and designing solutions that are both functional and well-made.
 

I recently completed an MS in Human-Computer Interaction at Drexel, which sharpened my research and systems thinking alongside my design practice. I'm now looking to bring all of that to a product team where design has a real seat at the table.
