Product Designer and Strategist
10+ years building for startups
My background is unique. I don't quite fit the mold.
If I had to claim my superpower, it would be bridging human-centered design, AI, and business strategy. I combine a distinct analytical background in mathematics and fine art with an M.S. in Integrated Business, Design & Technology from USC’s Iovine & Young Academy.
I am a problem solver at heart and enjoy every step of the creative process. I feel most excited when I'm shaping ideas into new products.

About Me
I am a product designer navigating the space where business strategy, emerging technology, and human-centered design meet.
My unconventional journey began early in my career as a software developer, where I became captivated by the intersection of creativity and code. After earning a B.S. in Mathematics from Trinity College, I pursued art and design at Tufts University’s Museum School, and later earned an M.S. in Business, Design & Technology from USC Iovine & Young Academy. This multi-disciplinary path gave me the fluency to view problems from diverse perspectives and build consensus across both technical and creative teams.
I have applied that mindset across a broad spectrum of challenges, from designing and building SaaS platforms for top-tier biotech companies like Pfizer and Genentech, to founding the direct-to-consumer brand Blossom Bags.
Today, that same curiosity drives my enthusiasm for AI and the future of product development. As the industry shifts towards AI integration, I view these emerging tools not as replacements for human ingenuity, but as entirely new materials for creative problem solving.
I am driven by the belief that great products are rooted in understanding real human challenges. It’s never just about aesthetics or raw code. It’s about creating a meaningful, seamless experience between a product and its audience.
