A human-centered designer, I want to enrich lives by understanding the ways we think, play create and learn, and using these insights to create thoughtful experiences and solutions.

Currently, I’m working at the intersection of design, strategy and business at the Samsung Design Innovation Center, where we envision the future of Samsung experiences and make them come true.

I’m a graduate magna cum laude from Wellesley College, majoring in Media Arts & Sciences (an interdisciplinary program combining Design and Computer Science) and minoring in Anthropology.

In prior experience, I developed brand experience strategies at Siegel + Gale, as well as contributed design expertise to portfolio companies at Bitwise Ventures, an arm of Bitwise Industries. I also created a user experience to enable dream interfacing with Fluid Interfaces at the MIT Media Lab, and developed an employer branding strategy for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

Alumna of the MIT Design Lab, working with a talented team of designers to imagine future visions and novel experiences for high-profile corporate clients. For more details, check out my resume.

In my spare time, I’m learning to sew, trying out new recipes, over-mothering my plants, and probably rewatching Avatar: the Last Airbender for the millionth time.
