a consumer AI product designer, withan eye for design and a mind for growth

I finished my undergrad from Parsons in NYC, where I developed my designer’s eye from my day-to-day interactions with this dynamic city.

Right after college, I joined BeFreed as its founding designer, building an AI learning app for busy professionals, and learning everything about building a product from 0-1.

Wanting to excel my design skill, I went to grad school at UPenn. Around the same time, I started building my own design + growth agency, helping small brands on branding & scaling.

After two brief semesters in the program, I made a decision: drop out. I found myself learning more from working at a startup and building my own agency, much more than I was in the classroom. I wanted to put my energy into that kind of learning.

At the end of the day, I want to create experiences people find useful and enjoyable, and help more to discover them.
