As a senior product designer, I specialize in turning complex problems into seamless, data-informed digital experiences. With a B.S. in Information Science from Cornell University and a concentration in Data Science—plus an early background in neuroscience—I bring a unique perspective that blends analytical precision with creative intuition.I’m drawn to the energy and ingenuity of early-stage startups. There’s something thrilling about the scrappy, high-stakes environment where every decision can make or break a product. I thrive on the opportunity to shape design strategy from the ground up, collaborate closely with brilliant teams, and see my work have a direct, measurable impact. At this stage, design becomes a blend of art and science—a puzzle that demands constant adaptability, strategic thinking, and relentless curiosity.I’m passionate about creating products that not only look great but deliver real value, and I believe great design is about empowering users while driving growth. Whether it’s scaling new ideas or refining core experiences, I approach each challenge with meticulous care and a data-driven mindset.
