I’m a Philadelphia-based UX Strategist & Product Designer with a passion for creating emotionally satisfying experiences that build synergy between your users and your brand. With a human-first mindset, I evaluate products from both user and business perspectives, aligning needs, identifying growth opportunities, and driving impactful results.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Temple University. After working in psychiatric rehabilitation and in-home social work, I sought to transition my person-first advocacy into the technology realm. Returning to community college as a non-degree seeking student, I explored visual communication and strategies for integrating design with technology. This experience solidified my desire to blend design thinking, psychology, and research into my career.

I went on to obtain my Master of Science in User Experience from Arizona State University. Here I learned how to incorporate graphic information technology, technical communication, and human systems engineering strategies into the design process.

The AI Product Design & Build certification program I am working on through Designlab complements this foundation by helping me understand how AI can support, rather than overshadow, the creation of meaningful, people-centered experiences.

My winding career journey fulfills my passion for designing thoughtful, inclusive experiences that serve both people and purpose.
