About Me

 

Linkedin | Instagram | Sketchfab

I have 10+ years of experience as a UX design and strategy lead. I collaborate with creative agencies, cultural institutions, global brands, Fortune 100 companies, and research facilities, and can integrate into any project workflow. Even with emerging tech, I advocate for best UX practices regardless of novelty or medium.

I lead design teams, large and small, and work with user experiences of all shapes and sizes. My work requires me to synthesize creative materials, lead and mediate inter-disciplinary teams, develop complex user flows, and design intuitive interfaces. I do this across a range of platforms, devices, and mediums (VR/AR/MR, interactive kiosks, immersive narratives, games, mobile apps, web, etc).

My favorite projects are ones in the digital cultural heritage space. I’ve created tons of photogrammetry scans of artifacts from around the world.  

I’ve worked on many enterprise apps throughout my career. I’ve also worked with research facilities, designing everything from complex portals and dashboards, to service design, to conventional marketing websites.

I teach “UX/UI Design for XR” to M.A. students at the School of Architecture & Design at NYIT. I developed the course curriculum, which focuses on the critical analysis of XR applications and design of human-centered experiences for spatial computing. Sometimes I teach workshops about digital storytelling and give talks at festivals and conferences (both locally and abroad). 

I stay current by attending meetups, hackathons, and conferences on topics related to emerging technology and I try to take an active part in its community of makers.

I’m also the co-founder of L3A UX Studio. We’re a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB). 

Check out a small part of my work, or schedule a time to chat. I’m based in NYC.
