Turning complexity into clarity—one product, one message, one sketch at a time.
I’m a product strategist and design leader who bridges communication, design, and technology to deliver real-world impact.
From discovery to implementation, I’ve launched MVPs and scaled products for some of the most respected companies globally: from intuitive digital tools for thousands of museums via Bloomberg Connects, to brand and product experiences for Nike, Gamechanger and NYLife (via Accenture).
My expertise spans platforms (iOS, Android, Web), industries (fintech, media, health-tech), and roles—from corporate strategist and contributor to startup player-coach.
More about Me
In addition to product development, I’m a mentor and former President of Bloomberg’s Toastmasters International, I’ve guided dozens of professionals and shaped the next generation of talent at New York University, SVA, and Columbia University. I love to coach professionals so they can clarify their vision and bring it to life.
I love to make art, perform in dramas, and create illustrations and sketch notes - any way to use the mind, body and heart to deepen realizations and relationships!

Design Philosophy
-
Focus on People First
Great design starts with deep empathy. I champion human-centered design by putting technology in service of people—not the other way around. My process involves listening beyond the surface to uncover the real drivers behind user needs, always advocating for their experience at every step.
-
Patterns of Innovation
Innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. My training as an architect taught me to study the cultural, economic, and technological signals shaping our world to uncover patterns across industries. By analyzing how systems evolve over time, we can translate trends into meaningful insights that inform strategy and spark new ideas.
-
Design As A Service
Design is more than aesthetics—it’s a responsibility. I focus on what’s essential, approaching design as a service that helps people thrive. By honoring cultural context, embracing diverse worldviews, and listening deeply, I create solutions that are both innovative and genuinely meaningful.
Two people WHO inSPIRED my design philosophy…
In architecture school at Ohio State University, one of my most influential mentors + teachers was Paul Young - an extraordinary leader with deep empathy and a service-oriented mindset. He explained how to design for people, we must first understand their worldview. When we care about the people we design for, design becomes a service.
Another mentor of mine was the chair of my graduate program at NYU, and a revolutionary in tech: Red Burns. She showed us to put people first, collaborate fully, and be fearless in experimentation.
