Oh hello.
I was that kid who always asked "Why?"
I never grew out of it.
I'm currently looking for new opportunities for mission driven work following a rewarding stint with the Tailoru Collective. I'd especially love a role in civic or health technology but I'm open to wherever I can make an impact on the quality of life of others.
For the past few years I have had the pleasure of helping solve a myriad of problems. Working primarily in the fast-paced and iterative start-up space, I've done research, design and testing for products ranging from NPO, Education, Healthcare, E-Comm, Civic, and Wellness. I have partnered with clients, product + project managers, marketing teams, researchers + UX/UI designers and developers​, and of course, end users.

In my past life, I independently owned and ran a commercial photography business for over 15 years. I told stories about the foods we eat, things we use, and places we spend time. I partnered with agencies, corporations and small businesses to create high-quality content in industries such as food and hospitality, architecture and design, product and manufacturing, journalism, corporate event and travel.
My entire business was run on word of mouth, which I am very proud of. However this is a high-stress industry and I burned out several years ago and was ready for a new adventure.
I ran with the personality traits that help me excel: curiosity, resourcefulness, and making things make sense to other people.

For fun I like to ride my bike, tend to my garden, practice the violin and guitar, and read no less than 3 books at once. I always say hi to dogs.
I am based in NYC and open to remote and minimally hybrid work.
