I’m a UX design leader with 15 years of industry experience, solving problems around the globe.
Design, for me, is all about solving problems at their core. I love breaking down the assumptions behind a challenge and really digging into what’s driving it. What excites me the most is building a deep, genuine understanding of the people involved. Lately, I’ve been diving into user behavior, using qualitative testing to get insights straight from the source.
My background in software engineering has been a great asset when it comes to designing and building interactive prototypes. I earned my master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction from Georgia Tech and my bachelor’s in Information Systems from Stony Brook University. I’m currently experimenting with AI to build the next generation of products and services
As the web matured into a highly interactive platform, I was a web developer for Human Rights Watch.
In the digital agency world, I developed my UX design skill and an appreciation for innovation.
I am currently in m 3rd role at Mastercard, as a director of product experience design. In that time, I have worked on projects that span B2B, B2B2C, Contactless Payments, and social impact.

“We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.”
