My backgroundšŸ’”šŸš€

I have a formal education in UX, product design, and visual design and have a background in handling complex UX products for enterprise and virtual reality.
ā€
I'm energized by exploring new mediums and industries ā€” from social good to emerging technologies. I am passionate about how design and technology can be leveraged to enact positive behavior change.

I have extensive experience designing for operations-focused UX and detailed system designs. I love challenging problems and can't wait to ask questions.

Outside of design šŸ’ƒšŸ“š

When I'm not designing, I love exploring the city, eating out, painting, and reading. Iā€™m currently getting to know west-coast culture!

I also speak French, Russian, and a tiny bit of Spanish.

Bookshelf šŸ“š

As a designer working in tech I like to read broadly about high growth startups, design, technology and leadership. Here's a collection of books I recommend reading if you're looking for inspiring books to read as a designer.

I keep a more up to date collection of what I've read or want to read on my Goodreads ā†’ profile.
