Intro
I’m a designer based in San Francisco. My multi disciplinary skillset in design, visual arts, software development, and psychology has allowed me to work in a range of environments ranging from large international companies to start-ups.

Currently I'm working at at Lox Club, where I spearhead the design of our iOS and Android apps to build experiences that revolutionize the way people find their perfect partner. Previously, I was a design intern at Garmin where I built their Sketch design system for marine devices and designed an IOT device application that allows users to control their boat's entertainment and sound systems in one place. And before that I was a Front-end Design intern at YayNay, an online polling platform for corporate and government settings where I discovered my love for designing beautiful and intuitive user experiences. Currently working at I.T as Head of UI/UX and previously Creative Director. Throughout my entire design career I've worked on multiple freelance project predominantly on digital experiences, product design, and branding.

I received a degree in Information Science with an emphasis on UX Design at Cornell University in 2022. When I'm not at my desk I enjoy experimenting with different artistic mediums, curating playlists, basking in the sun, and nerding out to all things health and wellness.
