data-driven product design.
UX designer in NYC

Solving personal, product and business problems through data-driven design. 

Before my career in UX, I studied journalism, led global initiatives in fashion merchandising, and earned a front-end development certification.

I excel in pixel-perfect design, rapid prototyping, user testing & analysis, design systems, HCD methods, leading a team, shipping products and owning business KPIs. Design thinking serves as my guiding ethos for finding solutions to complex problems, creating user-centric digital experiences, and driving meaningful change in real-world contexts. I thrive in complexity and the unknown, utilizing divergent ideation to converge on practical solutions.

Volunteering with the elderly serves as a constant reminder of the challenges encountered in underserved communities and underscores the importance of accessibility and inclusivity in design.
