About ME
I'm a Product and UX Designer for mobile apps (iOS, Android) and websites, with a strong passion in UX Research. I have worked in companies of all sizes - from startups, to mid-size, to large corporations. I graduated with a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, and currently live and work in NYC.
Outside of design, I like cooking, baking, exploring restaurants, trying new dishes. To see past baking projects, go here.
One of my more recent hobbies I've discovered is needle felting.
If there’s ever a lot of extra free time, you might find me on the piano as well. Here’s one of my favorite songs of all time. Any Chopin fans out there? :)
