Product Designer 

I help brands translate complex ideas into approachable, consumable products through storytelling, cultural strategy and design thinking.

I have over a decade of experience in curation, creative production, sales, copywriting, merchandising and product marketing at startups democratizing luxury goods. I’ve worked on marketplaces, editorial product releases, and designed community-driven experiences in art and tech for clients including Saatchi Art, Ledger, Boys Club, and Cohart. My work has shown up in NYT and Elle Decor, and I’ve written about art and emerging technologies.
