Good design is invisible in the best way. It does what it's supposed to without asking the person using it to work harder than they should, or making them conform to a single path when life is anything but. The purpose of design is to serve the human behind the product, not a demographic or a use case listed in a brief. That means clarity and inclusion are part of the foundation, not the finish.
Growing up in Queens in an immigrant family, I became the translator between institutions and my parents, helping them navigate systems that assumed a fluency they didn't have. My brother Felix, who was autistic, showed me early on that the world makes a lot more sense when someone takes the time to break it down carefully.
Over the past decade, I've worked across startups and consulting, designing end-to-end digital products in consumer e-commerce, financial services, enterprise B2B, and student transportation. I facilitated discovery workshops with executive stakeholders, led research and synthesis, designed production-ready interfaces, and set the visual standard for how work got presented internally and to clients. The domains shifted, but the process and the care behind it stayed the same.
More recently, I stepped away from full-time work to support my family through illness and loss. That period sits at the center of Anchor, a caregiver dashboard I'm building, named after my late brother Felix. It reflects what I wish had existed during this journey. It also clarified what I want to keep building toward: products that serve the people with the least margin for error, in the moments that matter most.
I’m exploring senior design roles where design can close the gap between what exists and who it actually serves.
Let's chat.
