ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME

I leverage design, behavioral science, and code as a medium to solve human problems.

I'm a Staff UX Designer at Google based out of New York, NY and have spent my career solving problems for companies of all sizes and stages. I love to connect the dots between complex concepts from emerging tech to neuroscience through clever analogies, and I’m a big believer in showing rather than telling.

My background lies in visual design, advertising, and human-computer interaction, and I draw inspiration from a broad set of hobbies such as filmmaking, robotics, dance, and video games to in order to find interesting intersections and help me empathize with others.
