As a product designer with research experience, I know how to create products and experiences for people using research.

I think holistically about problems, talking to engineers and clients to figure out what needs to get built and how to get there.

I have a Masters Degree in Human Factors in Information Design from Bentley University, and a Bachelors of Science in Industrial and Product Design from Wentworth Institute of Technology.

In my free time, when I’m not playing in VR, I enjoy biking on mountain trails, making art, and taking photographs of adventures.
