About
My M.O. is to leave things better than I found them. Never one to be confined by ladders, I intentionally craft my career to inspire new perspectives and add richness to the experiences I get to co-create.
I’m currently focused on growth at Apartment List. Before that? I was the founding designer for a startup that was named in Forbes’ Next Billion Dollar Startups. I also have a background in finance and, in college, studied the intersection of human behavior and social systems. Growing up, I “worked” at my family’s resort (from housekeeping to running a kid's recreation program and flippin’ burgers). To say I’m people and service-obsessed would be an understatement.
At my core, I’m a human-centered yet business-minded product designer with an entrepreneurial drive to make beautiful things simply work better.
