I am a UX and Product Designer with an Industrial Design Master’s from Art Center College of Design, and a previous career in documentary media with a BFA in Film Production from NYU.

 

In my way of working, industrial design means designing for industry, and I put a high value on the cohesion of both business values and human needs. A research oriented, big-picture thinker with a bent for complex problems, I thrive using design as means to enable new life and work scenarios and opportunities. This has both the productive cause and effect of sitting closely with product managers, researchers, engineers to ensure design direction and implementation alignment with UX and strategy goals.

 

My best work has come from close collaboration, supporting and including all teammates and stakeholders, and working within limits while creatively negotiating best design solutions. Co-designing and unblocking with ENG, PM, UXR, and UXW on projects with companies like Google, Microsoft, frog, and with independent clients, I've honed a design style of enthusiastic solution-focus, research, and team inclusion, and the dogged prioritization of user needs has been paramount to product success.
