Product Designer | Design Strategy | UX Leadership
For the past 10 years, I've been lucky to be part of innovative teams at Google making cars you can talk to, Fitbit making award winning smartwatches, Venmo redefining the way money moves, Citi Ventures and others. After working as an in house designer in the Bay Area for ~8 years, I moved to NYC and started my design consulting practice. Since then, I've worked with dozens of household brands and fast growing startups to turn their concepts into a reality. My background in HCI & Info Systems from Carnegie Mellon helps me design experiences that make sense, while understanding what's feasible from an engineering perspective. I am passionate about using research to uncover user needs, and translating those into product features and UX flows.
