About
My goal is to positively impact people’s lives by meeting people where they are.

I'm a research-focused designer dedicated to building impactful (mostly digital) products and services. I'm interested in understanding how people move through their worlds and I love working within multidisciplinary teams so we can ask, learn, and iterate together.

I'm a UX Designer at M&T Bank. I have a master’s degree in Digital Media from Georgia Tech and bachelor’s degrees in Communication and Sociology from SUNY Geneseo.

In addition to design, I love video. I'm currently learning to build an in-home studio.

My pronouns are she/her/hers.
