At Mean Genius, I’ve worked across diverse projects in a fast-paced environment, constantly flexing my design and technical skills. One key project involved modeling the framework of a city healthcare web app, where I designed data flows while ensuring feasibility within a legacy database. This experience strengthened my ability to bridge design, development, and data—creating scalable, user-centered solutions that optimize system performance.

At CANVS, I learned that UX design is as much about strategy as execution. While working on street art exploration feature, I collaborated with stakeholders to align design with business goals and technical feasibility. This experience taught me the high stakes of design, where every decision must be intentional and contribute to the product’s success. It reinforced the importance of aligning user needs, business objectives, and technical execution in shaping both the user experience and the overall product.

Building on my leadership success, I earned a fellowship with the national organization, guiding collegiate studios across the country. I helped other universities revitalize their programs by implementing the proven strategies that fueled our success at NYU, scaling impact beyond a single campus.

While earning my Master’s in Computer Science at NYU, I joined a social impact design studio called Design for America (DFA) and quickly rose through the ranks. When the studio was on the verge of going dormant, I took the lead, revitalizing it into a thriving team of 50. Under my leadership, we ran multiple projects, leveraging design thinking to drive meaningful change.

I started as a front-end developer at a healthcare company, where I found myself naturally drawn to UX challenges. As I collaborated closely with designers, I transitioned into a UX role, using my technical expertise to bridge the gap between design and development. My ability to facilitate cross-functional collaboration became a key asset, driving seamless integration between teams. Owning this intersection, I honed my skills on the job, deepening my UX expertise through hands-on experience and formal training.

I began my career as a software developer at Nissan Digital (The digital function of nissan motor corporation). While working as a front-end development, I found myself naturally drawn to roles that blended creativity with technical skills. I closely collaborated with the design team, where it quickly became clear to me that my passion extended beyond development. This realization set the course for my journey into the design space, where I could merge my technical skills with my creative inclinations.
