Over 10+ years building webapps and interfaces for editorial, creative
platforms, and cultural institutions. I bring a systemic approach to product
design grounded in a balance between implementation realities, aesthetics,
and usability. Seeking a product design role where design and execution are
equally valued.

Product Design
Conducted an independent design audit and architectural migration of MoMA's
