I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon in my hand; staying creative as I grew was of great importance. I earned a BFA in animation from Lesley University College of Art and Design in 2015. While I came from an unconventional background, not rooted in traditional design, I have steadily cultivated my skills as a designer, dabbling in all avenues design has to offer, including strategy, UX/UI and visual identity.
I am passionate about all things technology, innovation and other nerdy ventures. My experience has been primarily with SaaS or B2B tech with brands in verticals such as telecommunications, healthcare, cloud data, in-space technologies, security, and more. I work closely with teams to transform complex and abstract ideas into accessible and clear visual identities and user experience journeys. Have a complex platform architecture that need to be unraveled and simplified? I got you. Need to fix a broken user experience on an existing web navigation or product? I will solve it. Need an end-to-end brand refresh? Yup, that too. I love how design touches all corners of business in some shape or form because from that vantage point, you can see endless possibilities.
You can find me hunched over my laptop and a large monitor, multitasking on several projects on a given day with a coffee in hand. In (COVID) downtime, you can catch me virtually playing Dungeons & Dragons, playing games on my Oculus Quest, and practicing Italian on DuoLingo. I enjoy learning about my Italian heritage since I obtained my Italian Dual Citizenship in July 2020.
And last but not least, my pronouns are they/them/their.
