About

Growing up as an avid reader and creative writer, I experimented with photography, graphic design, and journalism, which gave me ways to tell stories and solve problems.

In college I transitioned into UX design, combining my love for narrative with my interest in technology. I honed my skills at Dartmouth's Digital Arts and Innovation Lab, where I worked all through college as a UX/UI designer.

Over 10 years ago I began with small clients, focusing on user research, analytics and user interface design. I then joined startups, attracted freelance clients, and worked at firms where I collaborated to solve interesting problems.

These experiences paved the way for my current role at a small media organization inside a much larger fintech company, where I tackle design projects that combine research, design, business strategy, and markets data knowledge.

Whether I'm crafting a memoir or delving into a research project, people are always at the heart of my creations. I've found that data-backed design not only improves functionality but also fosters a deeper connection with users, who are never just users; they're also students, patrons, lawyers, teachers, admins, consultants, parents, healthcare workers... the list goes on.

Elsewhere

When I'm not designing, you can find me playing pickleball, exploring new restaurants, walking around Brooklyn, seeing live music, or lamenting the G train. I also enjoy trivia nights, diving into a good book, helping people make new connections, cooking and baking for friends, and reflecting on my experiences through writing.
