Innovative Product Designer with Expertise in Front-End Development and Design Systems
I am a product/software designer with extensive knowledge in most aspects of modern front-end development, specializing in customer- and data-driven design. With a Bachelor of Arts in New Media from Emerson College, I have honed my skills in UX research methodologies and design systems. I have significant experience with Figma, large design systems, and collaboration with engineering and product management teams. At Plasmic, I empower designers to access development stacks, contributing to a vibrant community. My career includes roles at Meta, BitGo, and Facebook, focusing on innovative design solutions across industries. Additionally, I have experience in interactive media development, concept development, and media criticism.
