I am a highly collaborative and creative Brooklyn-based product designer and illustrator; currently at Etsy, previously in-house at Kickstarter and IBM. I have a solid core of skills in UX/UI, and illustration is my superpower. Additionally, I have 9 years of design experience plus broader enterprise-level experience including: stakeholder management, leading projects/workshops, pitching ideas, contributing to UX strategy, balancing business/user needs, and conducting user research. I enjoy dense and complicated work and have a proven track record of never shying away from a challenge!
