(that’s me )



Every artist needs their toolkit. Our current digital landscape is fast-paced, a never-ending dance of new and old blended together to forge captivating digital products. Here’s an overview of what I mainly use to create my projects:
  1. Adobe Suite - Figma - Sketch
  2. HTML/CSS - Javascript - Vue - React
  3. Blender - Cinema 4D - TouchDesigner
  4. Wix - Wordpress - Cargo
  5. Unity - Unreal Engine

I’m an NYC-based interdisciplinary designer currently working as a Digital Designer (Rhapsody). I’ve worked independently for modern businesses and game studios. With my unique skillset rooted in both web development (RIT, B.S.) and design (Parsons, MFA), I’m driven to create immersive channels to help people better interact with digital products. My work includes impactful brand identities, modern digital products, and playful web design.

Growing up in Manhattan’s Upper East Side I’ve been exposed to a vast melting pot of ideas and values throughout my life. Bringing this cultural exposure to my designs, I craft accessible designs that inspire audiences worldwide. An obsession with emergening art technologies has motivated me to explore a variety of digital mediums and web tools.
