I'm a New York based product designer with a passion for creating a better user experience through innovation, aesthetics, and problem-solving. I enjoy finding the balance between user and business needs to drive the success of a product.
I have experience in a variety of industries and have worked for: startups, large enterprise, e-commerce, and consumer products. My most recent experience was with OddsChecker US as their Senior Product Designer.
At one point in time I was ranked 9th in the United States for women's épée fencing. I was also ACC MVP, ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year, and team captain at Boston College. Growing up as a competitive athlete made me extremely independent and disciplined while also teaching me how to work hard for myself and my team.
I love adventure and seek adrenaline rushes wherever I can. I've been bungee jumping and paragliding in New Zealand, glacier hiking in Iceland (photo above), and cliff jumping in Italy. I believe taking some risk makes life fun and helps push me out of my comfort zone.
Because I've been a painter and movie lover my whole life (Goodfellas is my favorite) I always thought my creative side was meant for a career in film. This was until I found UX/UI Design which allowed me to combine my love of art and creativity with the excitement of solving complex problems.
