。:*˚・:✧ ABOUT ME ✧。*˚:・。
I design interfaces that facilitate human connection.

I'm a designer who thrives at the intersection of craft, speed, and simplicity. I enjoy solving problems that touch on the everyday consumer and care deeply about building products that use technology for good.

Currently, I'm building a safer experience for teens and creators at Instagram. Previously, I designed creator and discovery experiences at Roblox, helped launch Ember AI as a founding designer, and crafted design systems for early stage startups.

While I'm a digital designer by trade, my work spans multiple mediums and disciplines–editorial design, animation, art direction, fine art. I'm always open to collaborating on projects across fashion, entertainment, and tech.

I'm based in NYC, but I grew up on the ☀︎ kissed streets of San Diego, CA. I studied computer science and fine arts at Brown University. I like tangerines, existential fiction, and The Marias.

I design interfaces that facilitate
human connection.

I live at the intersection of craft, speed, and simplicity,
bringing complex ideas from conception through execution. I enjoy solving problems that touch on the everyday consumer and building products that use technology for good.

I’ve previously designed at Roblox, Ember AI, and a few early stage companies. Currently, I'm based in New York and building a safer experience for teens and creators at Instagram.

I like tangerines, existential fiction, and The Marias.
