CLIENT: UX/UI - VISUAL DESIGN - STRATEGY

I am a product + service designer, researcher, and strategist with 7+ years of experience. I  see design as a tool to eradicate touchpoints of systemic isolation by improving systems related to physical and mental care, and making public spaces more accessible. 

 

I hold a master's degree from the School of Visual Arts and a bachelor's degree from New York University and have worked with a range of partners in-house, within agencies, and as a consultant.
