As product design lead, I’ve spearheaded UX design and research initiatives in emerging technologies including AI, fintech, and wearable tech. My approach is rooted in human-centered design, driving innovation with my team that is fundamentally centered on enhancing the human experience. I champion a data-driven approach, blending UX research, design methodologies, and ethical innovation to create solutions that enrich lives and shape an innovative, empathetic world.

Previously, I co-founded Wearable Media, an NYC based wearable tech company. We designed smart garments/accessories for clients in entertainment, fashion, technology, and industrial design. Our innovations were driven by rigorous ideation, research, and prototyping. As a passionate business owner, I've embraced risks, learned from failures and successes, shaping my entrepreneurial journey.

Our work has been showcased with Shanghai Fashion Week, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, Alibaba/Taobao, The Wall Street Journal, The Verge, VENICE DESIGN, Viva Technology, ON CANAL by Wallplay, Paris Fashion Week, SXSW, Creative Tech Week, NYC Media Lab, World Maker Faire, Imagine Science Film Festival, New York University, and EdLab, Teachers College at Columbia University. In 2018, we were top 30 finalist for the LVMH Innovation Award in Paris.

In my free time, I ride motorcycles, make electronic music, and advocate for animal rights.
