What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can innovate and grow as a designer, contributing to meaningful projects that enhance user experiences.

As a passionate Product Designer, I thrive on creating intuitive and engaging user experiences. My journey began with a strong foundation in architecture, which has greatly influenced my design approach. I hold a Master's degree in Information Experience Design from Pratt Institute, where I graduated with a CGPA of 3.98/4.0. My diverse experiences range from working with the United States Department of Agriculture to collaborating with renowned institutions like The Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that enhance user engagement and streamline digital experiences. At the Museum of Modern Art, I developed a design system for an AI chatbot, which significantly improved user interaction. My role as a Founding Product Designer at Placera allowed me to shape user journeys and task flows, ensuring a seamless onboarding experience. I am dedicated to leveraging data-driven insights to inform design decisions and create impactful solutions.
