About me

a picture of me

I'm a Product Designer from NYC. In the past 10 years, I've worked both agency-side and in-house at IBM, Sapient, iHeartRadio, Shutterstock, Kaplan Test Prep, Lifion by ADP, and Respondent. See my resume for details.

I design to solve problems for real people—I recognize that I am not the user, check my assumptions, and get feedback on ideas early and often, keeping inclusion in mind.

In research, I rely on observation, intuition, and empathy to understand what users need, while keeping biases in check.

In design, I can quickly change direction and let go of ideas that no longer work in light of new information because I focus on outcomes.
