About

I’m a New York-based UX Designer with 4+ years of experience and a passion for transforming the future of human-computer interaction through cutting-edge technology. Currently, I’m dedicated to bringing UX/UI design into the XR space (AR/VR/MR), aiming to create more intuitive and accessible experiences. I thrive in team-oriented environments, collaborating with others to blend ideas and perspectives that elevate our designs to new dimensions. When I’m not designing, I’m out chasing adventures, learning new languages, exploring the world, or relaxing with a good Netflix series!
