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. Without making them conform to a single path when life doesn't work that way. That's what I design toward — not for a specific demographic, but for anyone who might encounter the product. That means clarity and inclusion have to be built in from the start, not added on later.
Growing up in Queens in an immigrant family, I spent a lot of time translating complex systems for my parents before I understood that was a skill. 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 across consumer e-commerce, financial services, enterprise B2B, and student transportation — including an embedded engagement with a platform serving students with disabilities, where I joined a small internal design team to support a multi-initiative technology transformation. In consulting 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 constantly but the process and the care behind it stayed consistent.
I also spent time away from full-time work supporting my family through illness and loss. That period sits at the center of Anchor, a caregiver dashboard I'm building that reflects what I wish had existed. 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 currently exploring senior design roles in mission-driven organizations focused on civic technology, healthcare, and social impact.
