Here’s a bit about me
I’m a result-orientated product team leader with 6+ years of experience as a UI/UX designer and product manager at startups. I've designed and launched 3 products successfully (one was acquired), and contributed to and designed for countless more. Most of my career has been working in early stage start-ups, where I've learned how to thrive in ambiguity, organize teams, stay close the customer, launch quickly, and test assumptions. My expertise is in straddling the role of PM and product designer. As a PM, I take pride in my ability empathize with customers to discover the right problems to solve. As a designer, I take pride in my ability to design the right solutions that are intuitive and satisfying for people. Having deep knowledge of both domains has allowed me to be an adaptable and effective product team leader.
I’d love to learn about you, so please reach out to say hello.
Here are some random things I’ve made.
Prior to my career in product & design. I worked in architecture and design research at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University as an Artist Assistant to Krzysztof Wodiczko.
This video depicts a slightly creepy experiment where I projection mapped my face into a bust of Abraham Lincoln as part of the research & development for a project called House Divided (2020 exhibition) by Krzysztof Widczko which premiered in New York City. Link to project details here.
Here’s a page out of one of my old design portfolios. In 2018 - 2019, I worked as a 3D designer in an art & architecture Studio called Studio HHH, linked here. Go Studio HHH!
These renderings & plans were part of the design process of a project called Serpentine, a temporary site-specific installation that we installed in the Atrium on 100 Federal St., Boston MA for 2 months to celebrate the new construction of this building. You learn more about the project here.
Here’s a charcoal drawing I did in High School - Middlesex School in Concord, MA. I was really interested in texture & mark making at the time (and still am.) Go Middlesex!
I painted the view from my friend’s porch in North Haven, ME, one of my favorite places to be in the summer.
This is me playing (holding) my dad’s custom guitar and showing off his album we made as a family, “Songs of Love and Happiness.” In my free time, I love making music. You can find me on Spotify here.
I currently live and work (play) in Brooklyn, NY.
