I’m currently a Sr. Product Designer, at Kickstarter, where I am leading design for project discovery & backer engagement. Check out my work from the last 4 years -->

Prior to that, I designed experiences to increase checkout speeds with computer vision at convenience stores at Caper AI. I also rebranded their logo, site, and pitch deck prior to getting acquired by Instacart!

Here and there in between jobs, I’ve done some freelance & sweat equity projects to keep my skills sharp. I recently created some AI apps with my friends, and for over two years I was a founding designer at an early-stage influencer marketing startup, called Nfluence, founded by several Amazon engineers. 

My journey into UX officially started 10 years ago, at an IBM Research Lab at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I was hired as a UX designer while I was also pursuing a Product Design and Mechanical Engineering dual major. My designs helped shape research for LLM-enabled smart rooms, helped advocate for human-centered design in AI spaces, & helped secure funding for the lab.

Currently my passion project outside of work is making art and selling stickers on my online art shop!
