Senior Product Designer in Brooklyn, NY, He/Him

About

I am a designer who sometimes codes, and I focus on crafting accessible, impactful experiences. I am eager to take on challenging projects of any size, including web design and build, as well as product and system design. I am a certified professional in accessibility core competencies, and I am highly passionate about bringing inclusive, human-centric design to the forefront of my work.

Currently, I lead the design vision for Grayscale Labs, including user interfaces and experiences, visual and interaction design, copywriting and content strategy, branding, research and analysis, and system design.

My experiences and passions shape my perspective on life and influence the way I solve problems.
