Hi there. I’m a product designer with deep expertise in designing integrated systems and workflows, delivering transformative products that drives productive and operational excellence.
Currently at New York Times Cooking, I work with cooking editors to design tools to publish recipes with greater ease and efficiency. Prior to that, I worked in controlled environment agriculture at Bowery Farming, designed end to end rights management for Songtrust, and delivered streaming experiences at SiriusXM
Empathy, curiosity and intentionality form the foundation of my practice. I believe design is working through others, and with others. To use a quote from David Graeber, that ‘consensus isn’t just about agreement, it’s about changing things around: You get a proposal, you work something out, people foresee problems, you do creative synthesis. At the end of it you come up with something that everyone thinks is okay. Most people like it, and nobody hates it’ . It resonated deeply with me after years of delivering complex products servicing wide range of users and stakeholders - good design comes from working creatively and collaboratively with others.
I trained as an engineer. I’m an avid reader. I also paint (see some of them here).
