About
I’m a UX designer, writer, and brand storyteller based in New York City. With a background in user experience and luxury retail, I bring together creative storytelling and practical thinking that’s deeply informed by how real people navigate products and make decisions.
Working in high-end retail gave me firsthand insight into how shoppers ask questions, compare features, and ultimately make decisions—experience that now shapes how I approach content from a user-first perspective.
I studied Journalism and Art History at NYU, and later earned a UX/UI design certification through Columbia University. That path taught me how to blend words, visuals, and structure into experiences that feel thoughtful, clear, and genuinely useful.
I’m especially interested in work that brings together brand, product, and audience—and I’m always up for a creative challenge.
