Principal Designer in Brooklyn, NY, She/her

I'm a product designer and visual storyteller with a background in aerospace, media, consulting, and pixel art. I founded a studio in an attempt to focus more on partnerships that cultivate thoughtful design solutions for humans, and demystify the complexity of our digital environments. I love to draw, paint, and chat with people.
