Born and raised in New York City, I’ve been shaped by a diverse range of experiences. My mom, brother, and I moved frequently, which taught me resilience and adaptability. My mom, a hair and makeup artist who’s worked with acts like Lenny Kravitz, Bon Jovi, and Led Zeppelin, has been a constant source of strength and inspiration. Being surrounded by creative people from a young age sparked my passion for creativity.


At 15, I picked up the guitar, and music became a powerful outlet. During COVID, I channeled that passion into producing music on Spotify, connecting with others during a time of isolation.


Growing up in New York gave me a unique perspective on diversity, shaping my approach to design with sensitivity to different people and experiences. Despite struggling with learning disabilities, I jumped into the workforce after high school, spending years in the hospitality and restaurant industry, learning the ins and outs of customer service and operations.


Realizing I needed more, I pursued a degree in computer science at Hunter College. After graduating, I had the rare opportunity to join the management team for Duran Duran, honing skills in project management and collaboration.


My journey has taught me empathy and resilience, which I bring into my work as a designer. I strive to create solutions that truly meet people’s needs. Thanks for reading my story.
