About Me

As a Senior Product Designer at Apple, I uphold and push forward the legacy of innovation and superior design aesthetics that defines the company. With a passion for creating immersive experiences through a consistent visual language, I champion user-centric design principles across Web and macOS platforms.

With over 8 years of experience in UX design, I have developed exceptional interaction and visual design capabilities, demonstrating a knack for solving complex design challenges with solutions that prioritize user experience. I collaborate with cross-functional teams, bringing together designers, engineers, and product managers to deliver projects that surpass expectations. I utilize industry-leading tools to articulate and visualize design concepts through comprehensive sketches, wireframes, comps, and prototypes.

I also have a strong understanding of UX methods and best practices, thanks to my education in Computer Science, Digital Arts, and Human-Computer Interaction from MIT CSAIL.
