I’m product designer, storyteller, and lifelong creative.
I just wrapped up my Master’s in Experience Design at Northeastern, where I also studied design for my undergrad. I’m now looking for product and UX roles where I can dig into research, connect the dots at a systems level, and still get hands-on with visual design.
I’m driven by the belief that good design makes people feel seen and supported, shaping products and systems with dignity and usability.
Along the way, I’ve built a platform that helps people and community groups fundraise through a unique cashback extension, designed edtech tools as a Product Design intern at Harvard Business Publishing, and directed a design conference on disability-led design.
Founding Product Designer @Tufa
August 2024 – Present • Boston, MA
I led product design for a social impact cashback platform with 3,500+ visitors, 100+ groups, and 200+ extension downloads. Designed cohesive experiences across web, portals, and a Chrome extension, and built a design system spanning 15+ features to speed up iteration. Crafted the UX/UI for withtufa.com, a financial platform helping families co-invest in homeownership.
Conference Director, Product Lead & UX Designer @Scout
Jan 2023 – June 2025 • Boston, MA
I was part of Scout, the Northeastern university's student-led design studio where we ran client projects and organized campus-wide events. As Conference Director, I led Interventions: Shift—the largest design conference in Northeastern’s history—bringing together 265+ attendees, 13 speakers, and $24K+ in sponsorships to explore disability-led design. Also directed two client teams, guiding designers and developers on projects for Chargely (an EV charging app) and Disrupt (a fintech organization), where we delivered new brand identities, UX/UI refinements, and dozens of prototypes.
Instructional Designer @Northeastern University
Aug – Dec 2024 • Boston, MA
Conducted research with 50+design students to understand pain points in navigating their curriculum. Using those insights, I helped redesign the college’s plan of study, applying instructional design principles to make the path through courses clearer and the overall student experience more supportive.
Product Design Co-op @Harvard Business Publishing
Aug – Dec 2024 • Boston, MA
Designed and tested UX for a suite of digital learning tools, focusing on accessibility and the integration of AI features. My work included building four design systems—spanning dashboards, UI components, and social templates—that reduced inconsistencies by 20% and improved team efficiency. Also conducted user research and prototyping that directly shaped the launch of a new generative AI-powered product.
AmeriCorps Intern @Lutheran Family Services
Nov 2020 – Sep 2021 • Albuquerque, NM
Worked with recently resettled families to help them build visibility for their small businesses and community initiatives. I created websites and social profiles to expand their reach, rebranded the Economic Development program to better reflect their needs, and redesigned the organization’s site for easier use. Also improved CRM and helped developed a refugee farmers market program, benefiting 20+ families through agricultural opportunities.

Design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s shaped by our beliefs, biases, and the systems we operate in.
I created this set of oaths below as a way to hold myself accountable to the kind of designer I’m trying to be. Each one is a principle I’ve arrived at through experience, reflection, and a lot of unlearning. The badges are a playful nod to the fact that these aren’t one-time achievements but values I return to again and again.
We all live in our own, bespoke realities. Expand your perspective to other people’s worlds to design critically, consciously, and in context.
Understand why things are the way they are, in order to propose how they should be. Nurture curiosity by examining systems, interactions, and artifacts around you.
Search for the connections between and nuances of things to anticipate the ripple effect your design might have.
Acknowledge the dignity in choice – even if the choice is to disengage. Autonomy allows people to be active practitioners of their own forms of knowledge.
Each lived experience lends its own kind of expertise. Listen, iterate, and actively seek to know what you don’t know.
Design can help us build worlds as yet unimagined. Think critically about how your design might carry the imprint of today’s systems into worlds to come.
Before seeking new solutions, acknowledge and encourage community knowledge and practices. Exercise resourceful and creative approaches to do more with what you may already have.
Engage in design with deliberate and thoughtful care to uphold your own dignity as a designer. Engage in practices of noticing and attentiveness to create spaces for vulnerability. And remember – effective design doesn’t always mean good design.
