About me

I'm a collaborative and creative individual with leadership experience. I started out in the arts, but for the past 5+ years, I've been working in tech. My career in tech started out in the Bay Area at Google, and I have since moved back home to Boston with my Keeshond, Stella.

 

I was on the Instagram Avatars team at Meta where I created collaborated with my product team on UX Research studies, product strategy, and A/B experiments. At IG, I learned how to lead a team of roughly 20 Content Designers to drive impact on a new product space with the help of a smaller group of representatives. I also learned how to create wireframes in Figma and prototypes in Origami. Before Meta, I was a member of the global PlayStation 5 launch team at Sony Interactive Entertainment. At SIE, I collaborated with fellow designers, UX researchers, engineers and product managers to deliver a delightful and intuitive experience for players across the world. As part of this, I defined accessibility and inclusivity standards in the PlayStation UX Writer's Guide. 

​

When I'm not strategizing the best experience for users, I'm usually out hiking in the woods with my dog, making a custom herbal tea blend, reading a book, or creating digital sketches. I used to mentor others on ADPList, but am currently taking a break to train for a half marathon.
