Work

I have over a decade of design experience working at design studios and in-house products. I will focus on my most recent work in this portfolio, but if anything in my work history interests you, I can certainly elaborate.
 
In addition to design, I have a strong background in Education as Spanish Lit. major in the Education program at school, followed up by a Cambridge certification to teach English. My passion for teaching has translated into sharing my knowledge of design – as an instructor for online design certifications, a co-instructor at the Parsons School for Design MFA, and a career mentor at Amazon and TPT.
 
My diverse experience, commitment to customer advocacy, and a love for teaching make me a unique and valuable lead product designer.

/ Life Balance

I live in Brooklyn, New York and have called my Greenpoint home for about 12 years now. I originally came to NYC for the amazing food options always on offer, and I've since put down roots, married, and adopted a couple of adorable local cats.

I really love this great movie theater near us called Nitehawk Cinema, which is a dine-in theater and they always have the best popcorn with a hint of citrus and truffle butter. *chef-kiss*

In addition to the movie nights, and beautiful walks on the waterfront, my wife and I are just as likely to be home with furry friends and a good 2-player video game.
