Designing with Purpose

UX Designer at C+A Global for clients such as HP, Kodak, and Saris. Co-Founder & Designer at Ascend Hiring. My degree in Cognitive Science and Psychology fuels my design ethos of human-centeredness, transparency, and conscious design.

Previously, Co-Founded Creative X, Rutgers' UI/UX & Product Design organization and designed for companies such as Nutrivide, Kodely, and Aviyel.

My design philosophy consists of creating products that are mindful, rooted, and emergent.

Mindful meaning products that are psychologically beneficial, owing to my Cognitive Science & Psychology major. Rooted meaning sustainable design that solves relevant problems for communities owing to my time volunteering for my local community. Emergent meaning designing cutting-edge experiences using tools like AI and XR/VR owing to my time co-founding Ascend Hiring and being a designer who codes.

Inspired by Life

Beyond design, I'm a runner turned lifter, an aspiring polyglot, and an optimistic ecofuturist. I find inspiration in art, architecture, and the outdoors.
