I’m proud to have helped grow exceptional talent across disciplines—from UX, product, visual, and service design to engineering and entrepreneurship.
As a Leader
I lead by servitude, foster collaboration, & innovate solutions.
My career has been a continuous cycle of iterative prototypes facing tough deadlines. Working in various roles, I've mastered the art of creatively reimagining repetitive procedures. A South Philly native, I was raised to be respectful & kind. These traits led me abroad expanding my cultural horizons. An accessibility advocate, inclusivity is a top priority. Psychology, color, type, & tone are rigorously tested to ensure our services are appreciated by all.
I'll be curious forever.







As an Educator
I live vicariously through others.
As a forever student, I seek wisdom from my elders and inspiration from the up-and-coming generation. From high-schools to senior designers, I help build their courage and confidence in a shifting world. I've been an Adjunct Professor for decades, having taught at many prestigious organizations: The Fashion Institute of Technology, Southern Connecticut State University, General Assembly, Drexel University, ADPList, and the New York City Department of Education.
I help those find their needle in the proverbial haystack.
