As a UX Designer with a background in Architecture and Natural Wine, my industrious nature and unconventional approach to human-centric problem solving empower me to identify alternate avenues for imaginative design solutions.

I love talking to people, pinpointing their needs, and resolving those needs through unique and creative opportunities (whether that’s a multi-family apartment building, the perfect bottle of wine at dinner, or a beautifully intuitive digital interface).
