I’m an experienced product designer, teacher, and design mentor, with a strong interest in growing startups. I really enjoy working alongside an early, energized, and multi-disciplinary team to turn great ideas into products that people love.
My design toolbox ranges from user research, UX, UI, prototyping, product prioritization, copywriting, and design strategy. To be successful in a fast-paced environment I make an extra effort to include my team throughout the entire design process.
Outside of work I design and sell pop culture t-shirts and raise too many houseplants in Manhattan.
