I’m a designer focused on building meaningful digital products.

I have over a decade of experience as a design lead defining the visual language of products across digital touchpoints—web, mobile, connected devices. I’ve been fortunate to work with a range of clients from Fortune 500 companies to startups (or from AAA to Zola). I’m currently based outside of Boston and am available for remote or on-site engagements.

My background

I began my career working for UX-focused design consultancies in New York and San Francisco. Since 2011, I have been an independent creative working directly with startups and small teams. I have an MFA in Design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and an AB in Visual Art from Brown University. When I’m not designing, I spend time making paintings and sharing them here.

 

What I love to do

• Collaborate across product teams

• Define cohesive design systems

• Customize and craft iconography

• Make data visual
