Research & Design for Brands, Products, and People
I am an Experience Designer, Researcher, and Storyteller from Boston Massachusetts.
I am an advocate for design being human centered and always designing with the purpose of improving a person’s life. I am at my happiest when I am around good people, with some good music, doing some good work.
Feel free to contact me for freelance projects, collaborations or to just say Hi!
