About

Bio

Based in Brooklyn, I spend most of my free time hanging out with friends, finding cafés to settle into, going to concerts, or jamming in a band with friends.

A lot of what shapes my perspective comes from drawing inspiration across different creative mediums and everyday experiences, whether that’s through music, physical spaces, traveling, objects, or the small details that give places and experiences their character.

Experience

I’ve spent the past four years at West Monroe working across enterprise products and internal tools, helping teams make sense of complex workflows and turn early ideas into tangible product direction.

A big part of my role has been leading design sprints, facilitating workshops, and helping cross-functional teams align around product strategy before moving into execution. My work often sits between ambiguity and implementation, whether that’s shaping an initial concept, mapping out a user flow, prototyping ideas, or working closely with engineers to refine the experience as it gets built.

More recently, I’ve been exploring ways to incorporate agentic design into my process, using AI as a collaborative tool for research synthesis, ideation, rapid prototyping, and exploring new ways of thinking through product experiences.

I enjoy the collaborative side of product design just as much as the craft itself, especially the process of bringing different perspectives together and creating clarity around what a product should be and how it should feel to use.
