Hello there—
I’m a designer, researcher, public speaker, and devoted dog enthusiast. My journey into design began with a love for documentary film, which I studied at the University of the Arts in Philly. Fun fact: documentary film and user research share a surprising amount of overlap. After a few years in film, a stint in Switzerland, and even a brief IMDb appearance, I transitioned to digital design, diving into everything from billboards to instruction manuals (yes, I’ve had my share of eclectic projects).
Beyond our professions, each of us has many facets that shape our identity. I’m a lover of plain language, a painter, a traveler, and a fan of bagels and camping.
Today, I use my background to turn good ideas into great experiences. I believe the best design is practical, inclusive, and, above all, human-centered—design that actually makes life easier (or at least less confusing).
And if we can share a few laughs along the way? That’s the real magic. Frfr.
