A Product Designer dedicated to creating user-centered solutions and embracing the opportunity to learn and grow with each project.
I’ve gained valuable experience across various industries, including finance, startups, education, retail, and hospitality. This diverse background has equipped me with a well-rounded skill set for creating user-centered products. Whether designing a sleek financial dashboard or a user-friendly e-commerce site, I prioritize functionality and aesthetics, ensuring that my work effectively aligns user needs with business goals.
[Some background?] I originally hail from Connecticut but for the past decade, I’ve had the pleasure of living in places such as NYC, Atlanta, the US Virgin Islands, Thailand, and Barcelona. My love for exploration and curiosity for different cultures have guided these adventures, shaping me into an adaptable and flexible person with a deep appreciation for diversity. When I’m not designing, I love taking walks with my doggy Milo, experimenting with new recipes, or getting my hands dirty in a new craft.
“The best design comes from truly understanding people, and I love hearing their stories. It inspires me to create solutions that genuinely meet their needs.”
