College, freelancing and first job 💼

During college, I began freelancing, picking up any visual design projects I could, before becoming a Visual Designer at a fund and startup accelerator in NYC, called Starta VC.

I gained invaluable experience but wanted a change🚀

Meeting dozens of startups, creating pitch decks, brand designs, and much more (and even being featured on Times Square) were all huge lessons for my career, but something was missing...

I didn't want to "package" products anymore. I wanted to build them 🛠️

AI realized that I wanted to be a designer with deep impact, beyond designing "cool logos".

I didn't want to "package" products anymore. I wanted to build them. So after doing some soul-searching, I decided to pursue Product Design.

My journey to product design.

To my luck, I was able to leverage my knowledge of visual design and startup mechanics to land a few freelance UX clients over a year and eventually land a Product Design Internship at Kyruus, one of the leading HealthTech companies in the US market.

Giving great ideas a voice.

In the midst of my soul-searching, my friend and I hosted two TEDx Talks conferences in Bayonne, NJ.

When I'm not working...

In my free time, I enjoy exploring NYC with friends, running, photography, playing Mortal Kombat, and going to the gym.
