A bit about me? Why, I'm flattered :)
A bit about me? Why, I'm flattered :)

I’m endlessly fascinated by how people connect—with products, environments, and each other. I solve human problems, no matter the tool.

💻 Product Design | UX Research

I’ve led research and design across a wide range of consumer tech products—from fintech to search, media, and health—focused on simplifying complex systems through deep user insight, systems thinking, and collaborative experimentation.


📝 Content & Marketing Strategy
My content strategy background strengthens how I communicate, structure information, and craft culturally nuanced narratives that help users understand and trust products.

📐 Interior Design
My training in interior design sharpened my spatial awareness and taught me to design for flow, function, and feeling—guiding users naturally through both physical and digital environments.

💻 MFA in Interaction Design, SVA
📍 Austin , Texas

A product designer based in Austin, Texas, I hold an MFA in Interaction Design from the School of Visual Arts, and a BFA in Interior Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. It's not hyperbole when I say art and design are in my DNA—and the medical community is WORRIED.

As a native New Yawkuh (sorry, sometimes the accent comes out–even over text!), I'm drawn to environments teeming with diverse perspectives and energy. This mindset has driven me to tackle a range of consumer tech projects, from a social connection platform to a private search engine and news aggregator.

​Prior to UX, I gained experience as an interior designer for international hospitality brands, and in marketing for a global exhibition design firm.​

A few things I do in my spare time…

👭 Facilitate Experiences with RealRoots

I lead intimate group experiences of 6-18 women, fostering authentic connection through empathetic and inclusive conversation.

🛐 Explore different Houses of Worship

I’ve always been curious about religions beyond my own, and I’m currently on a personal quest to learn from them firsthand. I’m interested in the personalities of different communities — how services, architecture, and preaching shape the experience — and what patterns emerge across belief systems. I’m documenting what differs, what overlaps, and what ultimately connects people.

Have a suggestion? Let me know!
