About Me

I’m a Product Designer based in Brooklyn, NY and I've been working at the intersection of art, design, and business for over 10 years. With a fine art degree and many years of high-end photographic printing and retouching experience, I thrive working in creative environments that foster collaboration and problem-solving. 


One of my favorite books, Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino, contains an essay titled “Always be Optimizing.” This mantra truly resonates with my approach to design: I’m constantly striving for that sense of accomplishment derived from a meaningful and visually stimulating interface, perpetually improving the user's journey. There is a special feeling that comes from designing a product that brings users a frictionless experience. 


When I’m not designing, you can find me browsing the new popular items from Trader Joe’s or trying to find a way to be near the ocean (the East River often does the trick).
