The Basics
I am a user researcher and design educator with a passion for storytelling through design. I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to my projects, leveraging skills in narrative crafting, consumer insights, and problem-solving to drive impactful user experiences.
I have a Master's Degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute and a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature from Harvard University. This combination of analytical and creative skills contributes to my ability to organize information, create compelling stories, cross-pollinate for innovation, and communicate clearly across disciplines.
I offer user research, brand copywriting, and product design services. My areas of experience include digital products, homewares, ceramics, wearables, and soft goods. I aim to create objects, systems, and experiences that are thoughtful, useful, and inviting.
