hi! here’s a bit more about me.

I have been a user experience designer in the voice and conversational AI space for 9 years, at both large companies and startups. I’ve been lucky to have the chance to explore this new discipline across a range of mediums like VR, wearables, smart glasses, smart home devices, SMS, and even email interfaces. My favorite part of being a designer: I love prototyping and getting ideas out of my head and in front of real people! I find the UX research process to be very rewarding, and I love hearing directly from users in interviews.

My main goal as a designer is to help build technology that caters to humans and our needs, rather than the other way around. I have loved working in emerging technologies and am often really inspired about the potential it has for the future, but it is also really important to me to be working on projects that have a clear, tangible, and positive impact on building a better world.

Most recently, I have enrolled in an individualized graduate program at NYU Gallatin that combines my interests in data science, linguistics, and animal studies. I hope to bridge the gap between technology, research, and our understanding of the natural world, to help drive us toward a future where AI can foster deeper connections with each other, rather than creating more distance from our humanity and nature.
