I've always had a feel for both my technical and creative side. When I was in school for my BFA, I found it difficult to pick a subject of interest. I enjoyed Typography, CSS/HTML, Graphic Design, and Animation. Naturally, all these things came together and I became a product designer.
For 8 years I've designed consumer-facing apps and websites for various start-ups in New York. Wireframing, prototyping, UI design, and animation are my bread and butter.
Because of my history at start-ups, I often have been a do-it-all designer who had to learn new skills on the job and design things quickly.
Start-up life gave me a deep understanding of the importance of all phases of design, the balance of short vs. long-term goals, data-based decisions vs. intuition, and the scrappiness it takes for new businesses to succeed.
Of course, there is always more to learn - my latest being Design Systems and how to successfully create, maintain, and scale Design Systems to work across a business.
When I'm not designing, I'm probably painting, reading, or hanging out with my cute fluffy dog, Rex.
