About

I am a human-centered designer based in NYC, passionate about the intersection of design, technology, and behavioral science.

Growing up, I was a maker. From doodling and painting to making my own jewelry and clothes, I did it all. I also enjoyed math, even though it wasn’t my best subject. Later I realized what I loved about math was process-driven problem-solving, the challenge of learning how each part of a system fit together to complete the puzzle.

I graduated with a B.A. in Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication, a unique degree that allowed me to exercise both the analytical and creative parts of my brain. I enjoy letting imagination and curiosity drive me in projects while also flexing my methodical, strategic way of working through problems.

I love exploring

and traveling to new cities with my husband, meeting interesting people and learning about different cultures and ways of living. Traveling consistently opens my eyes to the many perspectives and unique stories each person has, challenges my assumptions, and pushes me to strive for accessible, universal, human-centered design.

When I’m not working or traveling, you can find me enjoying a cup of chai at a local cafe, painting a cityscape, or hosting the Design Bubble podcast. Some groups I eagerly participate in include the Interaction Design Association, the Service Design Network, and the User Experience Professionals Association.
