Hi all,

I'm a UX Designer based in Brooklyn, NY. I design products that solve real problems and make people's lives easier—currently for 1M+ students and instructors at W.W. Norton Publishing Co.

More about me

Before UX design, I spent five years as a teacher, which taught me how to deeply understand people—how they think, how they learn, and what they need. That intuition is now my biggest asset as a designer. I'm naturally curious about why things work (or don't), and I love digging into complex problems to find simple, elegant solutions.

Over the past four years, I've worked across e-learning, e-commerce, and SaaS platforms, designing everything from accessible legacy product redesigns to 0-1 research-driven products. I thrive on projects that require empathy, strategic thinking, and a user-centered approach—whether that's improving accessibility, streamlining workflows, or creating intuitive interfaces.

What drives me is building things that genuinely help people. I care deeply about the humans on the other side of the screen, and I'm constantly learning how to design better, smarter, and more thoughtfully.

Outside of work, I illustrate children's books—I've published six—and design custom invitations. You'll also find me baking, exploring Brooklyn with my dog, or reorganizing my Figma files for the third time this week.
