Work

Before joining my current team at Pandora and SiriusXM, I was a senior product designer at AT&T’s Experience Design Studio. My teams and I designed and launched the AT&T TV video streaming platform, built OS-level features for flagship mobile phones and tablets, redesigned the DIRECTV satellite TV purchasing experience, and more for millions of subscribers nationwide.

While with AT&T, I was also an Aira agent for much of 2019. I used AI-powered digital tools with real-time mapping data, phone camera and smart glasses feeds, and remote computer control to provide the blind and low vision community with instant access to visual information.

Prior to my time with AT&T, I designed with agencies, corporations, and start-ups; led the UX Design Bootcamp at General Assembly; and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University.

Play

I teach phone and computer skills to elderly New Yorkers with the New York Public Library, manage tandem bike rides and cultural events for people with disabilities with InTandem, and help new immigrants strengthen English conversation skills at community centers around NYC with New York Cares.

If I’m not doing one of the above, you can find me exploring museums, riding my bike around the city, having language exchanges with English learners abroad, or making homemade pasta and pastries.
