A little background
Where I came from
Baltimore-raised and New York City-based, I come from an extensive background as a professional artist and storyteller. I received my BFA in Acting/Musical Theater from Carnegie Mellon University before moving to New York City in 2013.
Why Product Design?
I became fascinated by immersive theater and this emerging and innovative medium of intimate, sensory storytelling. However, many creators of immersive theater did not consider the user experience design for their audience. Easier said than done. So I made it my mission to learn in absorb all things UX!
Where I’m going
I found my way into product design to discover more opportunities for transformation in the digital and real space alike. By merging technology with creativity, I want to leverage scalability, automation, and data-driven personalization to let humans focus on the human stuff.
I seek to cultivate ethical, intelligent technology that supports human connection and creativity.
