About

With a foundation in HVAC from Passaic County Technical-Vocational Schools, I have carved a diverse career path in design and leadership. As the Founder & Executive Director of Platipus, I steer the organization towards its strategic objectives, ensuring alignment with its mission. My expertise in UX/UI design is honed through freelance work, where I crafted user interfaces for industries such as hospitality and fashion. At Moment Studio, I collaborated on B2B and B2C websites, utilizing user research to enhance platforms and deliver comprehensive design solutions. My journey began as a Graphic Designer, where I developed brand identities through creative concepts and designs. This blend of technical education and creative experience equips me to lead and innovate in the dynamic field of design and organizational leadership.
