I am
A Creative Partner with over twenty years of Product Design experience, dedicated to ego-free collaboration, user-focus, and innovation. I hold advanced certifications in Psych-Driven UX & UI Design, Information Architecture from SVA, & graduated with honors from Pratt Institute, with a degree in Communication Design. I am motivated by the opportunities that research, strategy, and design provide to solve complex challenges in our multifaceted world.
Over the span of two decades in the Design Industry, I've been fortunate to collaborate with over one hundred premium brands. While these numbers align with Gladwell's theory of mastery, I'm well aware that the tech industry is a dynamic and ever-evolving landscape that keeps even the most seasoned professionals on their toes. In my experience, it's the blend of collaboration, curiosity, and expertise that truly distinguishes successful projects. Below are some of my favorite projects throughout the years. See more on the work page. Let’s connect if you want to see more!

For me, 'The Good Life' isn't just about career wins; it's about stepping out of the grind to truly connect with the world. Early exposure to diverse cultures and art history lit a fire of curiosity in me, teaching me to appreciate the beauty in the details—from Lascaux's ancient pigments to Whitman's inked odes, and the ancient myths crediting Medusa with the creation of the Atlas Mountains. These remnants bridge generations, offering wisdom and inspiration. Driven by this mindset, I set up global offices
over the last decade, designing my own working model before covid normalized remote work. This setup let me redesign major platforms while still enjoying moments like watching the moon rise in the Sahara, or feeling the sweep of the Maldivian waters at my feet. Life's mysteries persist, but this lifestyle abroad sharpens my empathy, and problem-solving skills, and fuels my commitment to becoming a better, more compassionate human. Learn more about my odyssey below, and in the Life section.

The similitudes of the past and those of the future
The similitudes of the past and those of the future. The role that is what we make it, as great as we like, Or as small as we like, or both great and small.

Growing up in pre-internet New York offered me a blend of rarified treasures: the best pizza in the country (shout-out to Queens), museums that served as gateways to other worlds, 90's hip-hop aired by the radio stations that introduced the genre, and of course, an arena of severely contrasting perspectives living together (sometimes harmoniously) in our little melting pot. It was within this lead pot, that I first encountered graffiti—a raw, defiant dance on the city's skin, where chaos and beauty collide with electric intensity. Graffiti ultimately sparked my fascination with lettering, typography, and graphics, all which propelled me towards a degree in Communication Design, and a career in Product Design. And while Design resides at the forefront of my professional focus, I’ll always keep one ink-stained hand engaged in the Arts. Learn more about my personal projects below, and in the Play section.
