Product Designer • Formerly @ Shopify and Grand Studio
I’m a self-taught product designer located in NYC and recent computer science graduate from Hunter College. Recently interned at Grand Studio and Shopify as a UX design intern. I found my passion for UI/UX and product design through a coincidental internship back in January 2020. Since then I’ve been driven to create meaningful and inclusive experiences, hoping to bring a smile to everyone’s faces! I’ve been involved with designing experiences for social good, especially in the sphere of education. Asides from product design, I have some experience in full-stack web development and video game design. I also volunteer for educational and professional development programs on the side. :)
