About
Design strategist. Problem solver. Accessibility advocate.
I got my start in design sketching interiors and stage sets at FIT while still in high school — curious about how structure, flow, and environment shape human experience. That foundation eventually led me into digital design, where I found the same principles at play just with different materials.
Now, with over 15 years in UX design, product strategy, and development, I help teams turn complex problems into clear, user-centered solutions. Each chapter of my journey, from New York to San Francisco to San Diego, has shaped how I work: with systems thinking and empathy.
I’ve designed secure fintech apps for payments and identity verification, streamlined clinical trial systems for pharma leaders like AbbVie and Johnson & Johnson, and built analytics tools that help companies like PepsiCo and Air Canada optimize warehouse operations.
Outside of work, I recharge through the arts, live performances, and supporting animal rescue efforts.
If you’re looking for a design leader who brings structure, strategy, and heart to every product — let’s connect.
