I’m a Senior User Experience Designer at Moment, an independent design studio in New York. We’re passionate about designing meaningful and engaging interactive products that meet user and business needs.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with a diverse set of great clients including: ESPN, Pfizer, Tiffany & Co., Martha Stewart, Liquidnet, The Markets, and Bank of America.

I’m driven by the idea that user-centered design can improve people’s lives and make the world a better place.
