About me
I’m a generalist product designer based in New York, NY with 9+ years of experience. I've lived, studied, and worked on the East Coast my whole life.
Currently, I’m a senior staff designer at Quizlet, making flashcards, study guides, and other tools to help people learn. I’ve made a reputation for myself as the designer who takes on the gnarly, complicated, 0 to 1 stuff. I also moonlight on our scrappy design systems team; consistency and scalability are drilled into my psyche.
Before that, I honed my UX skills at a creative agency, designing for clients like Nasdaq, NBC Sports, and MIT. And before all that, I was a journalist. Running my college newspaper remains one of the hardest, and most rewarding, things I’ve done.
Outside of work, I’m a serial crafts hobbyist, and at the moment, I'm crocheting animaguri toys. Like many, I started baking sourdough bread in 2020 and I’m still at it!
