Software Engineer with a background in technical education, UX design, and startups 💙

Based in NYC 🗽

Welcome to my corner of the internet – thanks for stopping by! 👋

For the past 2+ years, I’ve been working as a Web Developer, specializing in a React.js / TypeScript / GraphQL stack. Before that, I worked as a Technical Teacher at Shopify, SuperHi, and Flatiron School. Following web accessibility standards and translating design to code are my bread and butter. 🥪

I also have 5+ years of experience working as a Product Designer. As a designer, I specialize in complex design systems and product strategy. I’ve taken early-stage startups from 0-1 as the sole designer and have moved at breakneck speed. At more mature tech companies, I’ve led cross-functional teams of 15+ contributors and stakeholders, where I spearheaded product strategy, design operations, and UX research. Overall, I’ve contributed to launching 20+ apps and features at various companies.

When I’m not on the computer, I like walking my dogs, baking pies, and reading sci-fi. 🥧

Let’s build something together 🤝
