SUMMARY
I’m a Design Generalist, currently working as an Independent Product Designer. I love technology, and I help teams build

Having worked exclusively with startups, I have evolved my design process around collaboration and critique. As a generalist,
I enjoy wearing multiple hats and am perpetually looking to improve myself.
