I am an interaction designer working on 0-to-1 projects for startups and established companies, with recent work leaning toward technical products and research labs.
Prev, I was a part of MCO, a freelance collective of designers working on impactful projects. I worked across product, web, and brand for select clients like Clay, Opendoor, and Productboard. I was usually assigned to kick off projects, explore ideas, set direction, and get the systems standing.
I iterate fast and prototype in design tools, code, and everything
in between to explore new directions and move ideas forward.
I have a background in the fine arts and museum education from the museum and the school of the Art Institute of Chicago. I left early to pursue a career in design, choosing to learn in the field.
In parallel- I worked in fine dining and as a food photographer. I was part of the founding team of a small indie restaurant that earned and held a Michelin star. My photography has appeared in Michelin Guide, Time Out, Eater, Modern Luxury, and others.
My time in service showed me that hospitality is a factor in every experience, gave me a sharp eye and a high bar for craft that I still count on to create beautiful, intentional experiences worth shipping.
