I’m a UX/UI Product Designer with over 20 years of experience creating intuitive, user-centered solutions and leading design teams for startups, Fortune enterprises, and some of the world’s largest brands. Alongside my professional practice, I’ve taught web design and development at Platt College, mentored aspiring designers through Springboard, and delivered over $2M in design services throughout my career. While I’ve been fortunate to build a rewarding practice, my greatest fulfillment comes from helping others master the craft, sharpen their skills, and bring new products to life.

Over the past two decades, I’ve been fortunate to build a rewarding career — generating over $2M USD in design services — doing work I truly enjoy. Yet, my most fulfilling experience has always been helping others learn the craft, sharpen their skills, and bring new products to life.
