About

I am a UX Designer who values atomic design, collaboration, and thoughtfulness. I have been developing my design practice for more than a decade. I received a Knight Arts Grant in 2013, which supported the production of a series of art books that were collected by the NY Public Library and exhibited at art book fairs across the country. As a UX Designer, I have contributed to award-winning desktop and mobile experiences for startups and enterprise companies. Outside of software, I produce physical and digital ephemera for artists, community spaces, and social movements.
